Screening of cultivars of winter wheat for searching genotypes with the heightened adaptive potential

Abstract

The purpose. To screen new cultivars of wheat for selection of genotypes with the heightened adaptive potential in conditions of Steppe of Ukraine. Methods. Field, laboratory, mathematical-and-statistical. Results. The optimal for growing in conditions of Steppe of Ukraine and perspective for the further selection new cultivars of winter wheat are offered. Conclusions. Screening of new cultivars of wheat (Shpalivka, Taira, Shestyzerna, Staleva, Zolozerna, Ozerna, Tala, Shylovka, and Mahistral) has allowed selecting genotypes with the heightened adaptive potential in conditions of Steppe of Ukraine. Cultivars Shpalivka, Shestyzerna and Staleva are the most perspective for introduction and further selection.
