2023
Wheat is the most produced cereal in the world and is the backbone of global food security. Moreover, it is a strategic crop that determines the independence of any country. Wheat is consumed worldwide and is a major source of carbohydrates and plant proteins. 90 forms of soft wheat from international nurseries were studied on the basis of the Scientific-Research Center of Agriculture, of which 10 promising forms were selected for detailed study. Based on studies conducted in 2019-2022 and the data obtained, it can be concluded that the wheat variety samples from international nurseries are the best breeding starting material for obtaining new promising varieties. The varieties are characterized by the following positive characteristics: short stems determining resistance to lodging, good leaf formation, fast germination, most of them are optional, have good graininess, with horn or semi-horn grains, and are characterized by resistance to fungal diseases. From the variety samples with complex positive traits, we selected a high-yielding and high-quality form, which was transferred to Sakpatenti for the registration. A variety called „Khvamli“ will be distributed in all wheat producing regions. The potential yield of the specified variety is 7.5-8.5 t/ha. Tab. 4, Ref. 8.
