Abstract
Kursk Federal Agricultural Research Center, together with National Grain Center named after P.P. Lukyanenko, has been studying and selecting hybrid populations, lines and varieties of hard winter wheat since 2012. Since 2017, they have been studied for ecological plasticity and the presence of economically valuable features when cultivating in the Central Chernozem Region (Kursk Region) varieties of winter hard wheat bred by FSBSI “Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy”on the basis of agreements on creative and scientific cooperation. At this stage of research, a large number of seedlings of winter hard wheat were tested, of which the most promising ones were identified. Using highly effective methods of ecological selection and having worked out breeding material in the environmental breeding laboratory of Kursk FARC, research data for 2018-2020. on yield, resistance to creep, overwintering, crop structure (height of plants, number of plants, number of stems, number of productive stems, total bush, productive bush, mass of 1000 grains, length of main spike, number of grains in main spike, weight of grain from one plant) and grain quality, on the basis of which grades and lines of winter hard wheat are evaluated. Over the years of research, weather conditions have developed in a variety of ways. Adverse environmental factors made it possible to better assess the level of adaptability of the studied sorto samples to abiostresses. In this regard an important task of joint breeding, is to increase environmental sustainability, the ability to ensure high stable yields in the soil and climatic conditions of the cultivation region.
Highlights
In grain crop selection, winter hard wheat is a young crop [1]
In the Environmental Breeding Laboratory of Kursk FARC, crops were located in the fields of a special breeding crop rotation
The basis for the selection of grain crops in the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution "Kursk FARC" is an ecological principle, which, according to the definition is a set of techniques and methods that ensure the creation of varieties and hybrids with maximum and stable productivity in the conditions of the proposed cultivation region
Summary
Winter hard wheat is a young crop [1]. It dates back to the first half of the 20th century. The first varieties were registered in the State Register of Breeding Achievements only in the 50s of the last century. 28 varieties of winter hard wheat are zoned, mainly in the North Caucasus region. It is, not so much, compared to winter soft and spring hard wheat. Until about the 70s of the XX century, our country occupied one of the leading places in the gross yield of hard wheat in the world, and occupies only 13th place, the leadership in this area remains with Canada
