Abstract

Experiments with 25 wheat varieties which were developed in the last 100 years in Croatia, Italy, Romania, France and Russia were set up in Osijek (eastern Croatia) during three years. Grain yield, plant height, heading date, 1000 kernel weight, test weight, protein content, sedimentation value, wet gluten, gluten index and falling number were analyzed. Varieties ‘Katarina’, ‘Alka’ and ‘Renata’ had the highest grain yield. ‘Alka’ and ‘Katarina’ had yields in average 15% higher in average 15% higher yields compared with ‘Slavonija’, 18% higher than ‘Dropia’ and ‘Flamura 85’, 30% higher than ‘Bezostaja 1’ and about 54% higher than ‘Sirban Prolifik’ and 'U1'. The lowest grain yield in all three years of research had varieties 'U1' (introduced in the production in 1936), ‘Sirban Prolifik’ (introduced in the production in 1905) and ‘Dubrava’ (recognized in1968).
