A number of techniques, including milling and baking, were employed to assess the quality of seven improved varieties - NP-710, -718, -797, -799, -823 and -824, and C591 - of Indian wheats which have shown several distinctive features. The yields of straight-grade flour were high in ...
Grain yield, nitrogen-use efficiency and baking quality of old and modern Italian bread-wheat cultivars grown at different nitrogen levels The high yields of today's modern wheat cultivars require high input which leads to both higher production costs and a greater risk of environmental pollut......
The PVS research showed the possibility of ensuring food security of smallholder farmers as new high-yielding varieties gave an additional 0.3 –0.5 tons of grain per ha, sufficient to feed two to three persons per year. Research also revealed that innovative farmers in rainfed regions grew wheat...
During the past century wheat breeders have produced a large number of genetically improved wheat lines and varieties. This activity has led to widespread adoption of improved varieties, a steady increase in average wheat yields during the past 4–5 decades and major contributions to food security ...
2015). In Asia, the extensive adoption of improved varieties of wheat and rice steered up increases in yields and food security (Evenson and Gollin 2003). At the same time, a study reveals how improved rice varieties contributed tremendously in enhancing more rice production in India and China...
Cheng's team introduced a collection of wheat varieties gathered by Britain in 32 countries and regions in the 1920s and 1930s, which are no longer grown anywhere in the world. Experiments have been carried out across China, comparing analysis of the nearly century-old wheat with modern variet...
Four wheat varieties, Wabash, Renown, Coronation and Regent, were registered in 1939 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in co-operation with the American Society of Agronomy. Renown and Coronation have already been referred to in "Plant Breeding s", Vol. VIII, Abst. 1030, and Renown and...
In this research, the use of certificated seeds of improved wheat varieties in farms of Ankara, which have an important share in wheat production of Turkey and the contributions of the certified seeds usage to enterprise economy have been evaluated by using data collected from farms via a questio...
Water-deficit stress has become a serious problem in global agriculture and severely affects the growth of crops; it is of particular concern in northern and northwestern China, where the main winter wheat production areas are located17. In these areas, more than 70% of annual precipitation falls...
