Purpose. To identify high-yielding samples in spring durum wheat collection and to determine the efficiency of using selection indices. Methods. Field, laboratory and methods of variation statistics. Weather conditions in the years of the research (2015–2018) on temperature regime, rainfall, and their distribution by months differed from the average long-term data. 104 collection samples of spring durum wheat were examined in the field at the V. M. Remeslo Myronivka Institute of Wheat. The yield, productivity elements and selection indices were determined. Results. Collection samples of durum spring wheat with significantly higher than standard yield for use in breeding practice were identified: Hordeiforme 13-08, Hordeiforme 13-07 (UKR), Lilek, Omskiy izumrud (RUS), ARN AAZ-1.040 YRC-4M (MEX), Kharkivska 27 (UKR), Neodur (FRA) etc. As a result of evaluating collection material of durum spring wheat by selection indices 82 samples (78.8%) with high index of promise were identified, 70 samples (67.3%) possessed high value of Finno-Scandinavian index, 71 ones (68.2%) had high Mexican index. The highest average values of Bila Tserkva index and Poltava index were observed in a number of French and Mexican samples, high level for index of linear density of spike was in French (Neodur) and in a number of Mexican samples. According to a number of selection indices, the collection samples of durum spring wheat Neodur (FRA), Duraxing (CAN), and GREEN/SOMO, Korifla, SHAG 9/BUTO/7, DUKEM 10/LOTUS 55, LABUD SRN 2, S 15 FOCHA 1.030M-1Y, MAGH 72 FUTO ALG 86 (MEX) with the optimal ratio between the yield components under study were identified. The correlation between yield and selection indices was analyzed. Conclusions. There have been identified collection samples of spring durum wheat with increased productivity to be used in breeding for productivity. Both positive and weak negative correlations between yield and selection indices were established. In some years of the research strong correlation was found in group of tall plants with the Poltava index (r = 0.80) and in group of short height plants with index of promise (r = 0.81), Finno-Scandinavian index (r = 0.85), Poltava index (r = 0.81), and index of linear density of spike (r = 0.73). In group of dwarf plants no (r ≤ 0.10) or very weak positive and negative correlation (|r| = 0.10–0.30) between yield and indices in all years of the research was observed. The Poltava index and the index of linear density of spike with positive relation to yielding capacity were the most effective ones.
