COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SOME DURUM WHEAT GENOTYPES UNDER THE RAIN FED CONDITION OF DUHOK GOVERNAT

Abstract

This study was conducted at the field of the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, during season 2009-2010 to performance of seven durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) genotypes namely (Semeto , Um rabeea, Acsad 65 ,Dour 85, Cresto, Sham3 Cocareet S17 ),were planted under Duhok condition using a Randomized complete block design with three replications. Significant difference was observed among the genotypes for all traits. The results revealed that the genotypes Semeto was surpass for flag leaf area, number of tiller /plant and 1000 grain weight and give high grain yield. The 1000grain weight gave positive and significant correlation with grain yield, No. of tiller/plant while the spike length gave appositive and significant related with No.of tiller /plant, flag leaf area and plant height.
