This study was conducted to determine some agricultural properties of some local durum wheat (Triticum durumDesf.) genotypes, belonging to Southeast Anatolia Region, compared to modern cultivated varieties. In the study, 21standard durum wheat genotypes and 4 standard varieties were used as plant material. The study was carried out in Kiziltepedistrict of Mardin province in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 growing seasons. The genotypes used were evaluated for somemorphological and physiological parameters. According to two-year average data; the differences between genotypes andyears were found to be statistically significant, whereas genotype x year interaction was found to be insignificant in all of thecharacters. Grain yield ranged between 201-347 kg da-1; spike number was 190-349 spike m-2; grain number per spike was20.83-38.80 grain spike-1; and spike length was between 6.33-10.08 cm, respectively. There were statistically significantdifferences between the varieties in terms of normalized vegetation index (NDVI), chlorophyll content (SPAD value), leafarea index (YAI) value, vegetation temperature (BOS) values which are accepted as physiological parameters. According tothe results of correlation analysis, statistically significant and high correlations between grain yield (GY), number of spikesm-2 and biological yield (biomass), and between LAI value, SPAD value and NDVI values were found.
