Abstract

One of the ways to increase wheat yield is using new cultivars. In this evaluation, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in Saqhez in Kurdistan province at 2017-2018. New cultivars included Homa, Baran, Ohadi, Hashtrood, Azar 2 and cross Azar 2 (Dari 1), which were compared with Sardari variety. The results showed that Baran cultivar had the highest grain yield (2793 kg/ha) and Sardari cultivar had the lowest grain yield (803 kg/ ha). Maximum (37.33 g) and minimum (32.62 g) of 1000 seed weight belonged to Homa and Sardari cultivars, respectively. The highest plant height (121.7 cm) belonged to Cross Azar cultivar (Dari 1) and the lowest plant height (96.67 cm) belonged to Sardari cultivar. Although there was no statistically significant difference between cultivars in terms of seed number per spike, but Hashtrood cultivar had the highest value (27) of it and Ohadi cultivar had the lowest value (23) of it. Also, Maximum spike number per m2 belonged to Hashtrood cultivar.
