Evaluation of quality of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars grown under rain-fed and supplementary irrigation locations in Nineveh Province

Abstract

A study was conducted to evaluate 65 cultivars of bread wheat under two irrigation systems (supplementary and rain-fed) and their effects on the yield and its components traits, for this purpose, a field experiments were implemented in Nineveh province in two environmentally locations (TelKaif and Fayda) during the agricultural season 2021-2022. A new study at 2023-2024 was conducted to study the qualitative traits of grains and flour of the same 65 bread wheat cultivars. Under rainfed irrigation in Tel kaif location, the results indicates that superiority in these traits were in the cultivars of (test weight 75.43 Kg. hi^-1 in Adana-99, Ash % 3.17% in Wifi, Fat % 2.58% in Mahdi, total Carbohydrate 77.17% in Attilla-50, Protein and wet gluten 13.19% and 27.52% respectively in Saberbeak. In Fayda location. The results indicates that superiority in these traits was in the cultivars of (Test weight and total Carbohydrate 65.75 Kg. hi-1 and 75.97% respectively in Attilla-50, Ash % 3.375% in Wifi, Fat % 3.16% in Falado, Protein and wet gluten % 13.57% and 24.90% respectively in Saberbeak. Under Supplementary irrigation all traits were superior comparing with it in the rain-fed location.
