Abstract
Winter spelta wheat variety Bc Vigor was developed by Bc Institute d.d.
Zagreb and released in 2012. It was tested under the experimental designation Bc 4989
on four localities in the period between 2009 - 2011. It is beard-less, tall-statured spelt
cultivar with moderately early maturity and high yield potential. In experiments an
average yield of all years and locations was 5.002 kg/ha for cultivar Bc Vigor, and
4.895 kg/ha for standard cultivar Ostro. The highest grain yield of 7.64 kg/ha was
achieved by Bc Vigor in 2011 at location Kutjevo.
The new cultivar is characterized by large and plump kernels, test weight
measured 79,5 kg/hl. Bc Vigor has high protein content 17,96 % and wet gluten 59,2
%. Sedimentation level was moderately low 24 ml. With regard to the other quality
parameters Bc Vigor belongs to quality group B1 with a quality number 56,2.
Due to to favorable chemical composition, spelta wheat Bc Vigor has good quality
attributes for food processing industry and livestock feed.
