Performance of durum wheat landraces concerning on grain yield and spike characteristics in Bornova ecological conditions

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the grain yield and spike characteristics of durum wheat landraces collected from different regions of Türkiye under Bornova-Yakaköy conditions and to determine the best adapted varieties for the region. Materials and Methods: In the 2021-2022 growing season, the trial was carried out with three replications according to the randomized blocks trial design in Yakaköy conditions of İzmir/Bornova district. Nine local durum wheat varieties and three standard varieties were used as material. Within the scope of the study, heading time, maturity time, spike length, spike weight, number of spikelet per spike, number of grains per spike, grain weight per spike, spike harvest index and grain yield properties were investigated. Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the landraces and the standard varieties for all traits except spike harvest index. Regarding heading times and spike length, it was observed that the local landraces exhibited higher values than the standard varieties. In terms of spike weight, Akpüsen landrace exhibited 22.7% higher mean value than the standard varieties. The local landraces exhibited a 53% decrease in grain yield compared to the standard varieties. Conclusion: Akpüsen, Şahman, Kunduru and Sarı Bursa varieties had differences in terms of yield by giving higher values than both the landrace average and the general average.
