Effect of Growing Conditions on Quality Traits of Some Bread Wheat Varieties

This study was carried out with 14 bread wheat variety according to randomized block designed with three replications under rainfed and irrigated growing conditions during 2014-2015 growing season in Bahri Dagdas International Agricultural Research Institute. Some quality traits (protein content, hardness, farinograph development time, water absorption, softening after 10. minutes, bread weight and volume) of bread wheat varities were investigated. The differences between varieties grown in irrigated and rainfed conditions are evaluated statistically. While Zeleny sedimentation value, farinogram development time, water absorption, bread weight and volume in irrigated conditions had higher values than rainfed conditions, softening farinogram value (FY10) and protein contents of varieties grown in rainfed conditions were higher than varieties grown in irrigated conditions
