Investigation on the Adaptability of A Group of Topical Common Winter Wheat Cultivars

Sixteen new Bulgarian common winter wheat cultivars developed at DAI ndash%253B General Toshevo currently in mass production were investigated. The aim of the study was to evaluate their response to changes in the climatic conditions. The following important economic parameters were assessed%253A productivity, protein content, test weight, bread volume, valorimetric value, sedimentation, wet gluten content, softening degree and H%253AD. The experiment was carried out during 2015 ndash%253B 2017 according to the block design method, the size of the trial plot being 10 m2. The interaction genotype x climatic conditions was studied using AMMI models. The assessed statistical parameters were at the basis of the ranking of the investigated cultivars by the economic indices regarding their adaptability to the changes in the climate. The cultivars were grouped according to the different indices through cluster analysis
