Determining the Diversity of Bread Wheat Variteties on Yield and Quality Traits at Rainfed and Irrigated Conditions

Abstract

This study was conducted with 7 bread wheat varieties in rainfed and irrigated conditions at Bahri Dagdas International Agricultural Research Institute as a randomized complete block design with three replications. Grain yield, thousand kernel weight, protein ratio, Zeleny sedimentation value, bread weight, bread volume and farinograph traits were investigated. Significant differences between the varieties were determined in terms of investigated traits in rainfed and irrigated conditions. Bread volume, farinograph development time, protein ratio and Zeleny sedimentation values in rainfed conditions were higher than values in irrigated conditions. Bread volume, farinograph development time, protein ratio and Zeleny sedimentation were determined as  507 cm³, 9.2 min, 13.6% and 46.8 ml in rainfed conditions and 495 cm³, 6.7 min., 12.3% and 44.0 ml in irrigated conditions respectively. According to the results; the effect of the growing conditions was found statistically significant on wheat quality.
