inconnu. Twenty four durum wheat genotypes (provided by CIMMYT-ICARDA, Aleppo, Syria and one local check durum cultivar-Sohag-2) were evaluated in RCBD trials grown at El-Sharkeia province and at the Eastern Better lakes in Sinai, Ismailia province, Egypt for two successive growing seasons. The tested genotypes were evaluated for several agronomic and quality characteristics. The trials were fully irrigated throughout the growing seasons and the recommended cultural practices were applied. Significant differences between genotypes for most of the studied characters were observed. Heritability estimates in broad-sense were generally higher at El-Salheia site than that at Sinai and were relatively higher for days to heading, days to maturity, yield components (number of spikes per m2, number of grains per spike and 1000-kernel weight ) and grain yield. These results indicate that the difference in soil fertility between El-Salheia and Sinai sites was a major factor affecting grain yield and most of its components
