Yield components and genetic potential of winter wheat on pseudogley soil of western Serbia

In order to determine the effect of genotype and vegetation season on the yield
and components of the winter wheat yield an experiment was performed in the
secondary agricultural-chemical school “Dr Đorđe Radić” in Kraljevo. Five
wheat varieties (Kruna, Renesansa, Pobeda, NS 40S and Takovčanka) were
examined during two growing seasons in the agro-ecological conditions of
Western Serbia. Trials were arranged according to a randomized scheme in
five repetitions. Grain yield (GY), 1000 grain weight (TGW) and test weight
(TW) in winter wheat grain were analysed. The study was performed as an
experiment based on extremely acidic pseudogley soil. On average, for all
wheat varieties, during the two-year trial, the highest yield of winter wheat
4.673 t/ha was obtained in the variety Renesansa. The Renesansa variety
showed the highest yield and 1000 grain weight. The highest 1000 grain
weight of investigation on wheat cultivar Renesansa (43.72 g). The highest
two-year average value of test weight was found in the varieties Kruna and
Pobeda (77.52 kg/hl and 77.31 kg/hl). Analysis of variance revealed a highly
significant effect of the growing season on the yield and test weight of wheat.
A highly significant effect of genotype on 1000 grain weight and test weight
was determined
