TECHNOLOGICAL QUALITY AND GRAIN YIELD OF SOME CHINESE AND CROATIAN WHEAT CULTIVARS

High and stable grain yield coupled with god or satisfactory level of technological quality parameters is inevitable for successful wheat production. In order to create or improve successful wheat cultivars in worldwide wheat breeding programs, breeders continuously attempts to broad genetic basis with high average values of traits of interest from new genetic sources. The bilateral intergovernmental scientific project “Exchange of Small Grain Cereal Crops and Maize Germplasm Resources Between Croatia and Yellow River Delta of China” is one of the possible ways for undertaking germplasm enrichment task between Agricultural Institute Osijek and Dongying Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Exchanged wheat germplasm was subjected to diverse observation and testing in field trials in characteristic production practice for each country during growing season 2014/2015. Technological quality parameters, grain yield, test and kernel weight of some Chinese and Croatian wheat cultivars are shown in this paper. According to particular preliminary results of investigated traits obtained in this study, some cultivars with high values of traits of interest and positive response to Croatian growing conditions and agrotechnic measures will be subjected to further testing, analysis and finally get possibility to be included in germplasm enrichment process.
