Study of the yield characters of two varieties of durum wheat (Triticum durum Dsf.)

Abstract

Our research is based on the study of the yield parameters of two new varieties of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.); “Mimmo and Simeto”. The study was carried in the region of Skikda, The results showed that Siemeto presented the highest value of number of ears tillering/plant and (1.53±0.23), number of ears/m2 (364±6), weight of 1000 grain (60.7g) and grain yield (57.89±0.95). The Mimmo variety showed the highest level of the number of herbaceous tillers/plant (2.10±0.1) and the number of grains/ear (32.7±6.16). Finally, the Simeto variety is better than Mimmo.
