Initial material for selection of spring bread wheat on grain quality in south region of Uzbekistan

Abstract

The actual and priority issue is the selection of varieties for the grain quality to use them as initial material for the further improvement of local agroecotypes of soft spring wheat through the creation of new varieties. 20 varieties of soft spring wheat of various ecological origins were studied in the trial field of Kashkadarya Branch of Scientific-Research Institute of Grain And Legumes in 2014-2015. The State Variety Test Commission adopted Hazrati Beshir cultivar in the southern region of Uzbekistan as a standard variety of soft spring wheat. The main indicators describing baking values of wheat are quality and quantity of gluten in grains. As a result of the studies, such varieties as Kr-SpR2014-14, Kr-SpR2014-22, Kr-SpR2014-4, Kr-SpR2014-6, Kr-SpR2014-19, Kr-SpR2014-10, Kr-SpR2014-15 were found to be promising varieties combining adaptability with a set of grain quality indicators.
