Comparison of some introduced wheat Genotypes under Iraqi Conditions

Abstract

Compare some wheat introduced genotypes from Pakistan with the local cultivars(Tamooz 2 and Mexipak), two field experiments were conducted at in Tiwatha andLatifya experimental stations during 2001- 2002 season. The experimental designwas RCBD with 3 blocks. Yield and its components were studied. The objective ofthis study was to screen and select of superior genotypes to the control. Results indicated that there were significant differences among the genotypes in their yield.The results of Tiwatha station showed that the genotypes P11, P13 were superior inyield when compared with other genotypes and local cultivars, while some genotypesgave the lower yield than the local cultivars. The results of Latifya station revealedthat all the genotypes gave higher yield production than the check cultivars expectthe genotypes P8. The genotypes P11, P12 were superior in yield when comparedwith the other genotypes and local cultivars. The results of combined analysis showedthat, Tiwatha station was superior in yield to the Latifya station, and the genotypesP11, P13 had more yield than the other genotypes and check cultivars.
