Among the 7 varieties, 5 are from France and 2 from Algeria. During the vegetation’s growth, we studied the biological parameters for each variety in the laboratory of the Institute of Agriculture of Blida (Algeria) in 2005 and the results were interpreted statistically. The best results were given by V2, V3, and V4 in terms of grains number and V5 in terms of quality.
