Identification of quality productive common wheat varieties in unfavorable environmental conditions

Abstract

The reduction in crop yields under unfavorable climatic conditions in recent years has led to enormous losses, both in terms of food supply for the population and livestock, and for the national economy. Unfavorable conditions negatively affect the productivity and quality of seeds, especially during dry summers, particularly at the stages of wheat flowering and maturation. The country is forced to import high-quality wheat from other countries, as the wheat varieties cultivated domestically, both in previous years and at present, do not ensure the maintenance of quality under these conditions. These factors constitute the main causes of economic losses recorded in years with unfavorable climatic conditions. The cause of this situation lies in the irrational use of wheat varieties cultivated in the country in relation to these extreme climatic conditions. From the above, it follows that there is an urgent need to identify, within the country, varieties that can ensure productivity and grain quality at an optimal level, meeting domestic requirements. Aim of the study: Identification of productive and quality varieties under unfavorable conditions.
