Background: Assessment of yield stability of durum wheat growing under different environments has been an important issue for wheat breeder. More Information about phenotypic stability is useful for the selection of adapted and stable genotypes which are suitable for wider range of planting.Methods: To calculate the parametric and non-parametric index, we use the program STABILITYSOFT. The aim of this study is the selection of adapted and stable genotypes based on the use of parametric and non-parametric index.Result: The graphic distribution of the genotypes tested based on the relationship between the mean grain yield and regression coefficient (bi), proved that the suitable genotypes for the tested conditions are Bidi17, Wahbi and Gta dur. The values of deviation from regression (S²di) classified the genotype Waha, as the most desirable genotypes. The Association between Wricke’s ecovalence (Wi²) indice and the grain yield proved that the best genotype for growing under these conditions are Bidi17, Wahbi and Gta dur. In addition, the non-parametric index confirmed the results which are registered by the selection based on the parametric index. Thus, the genotypes Bidi17 and Wahbi are the most stable genotypes. The classification based on the use of the principal component analysis classified the genotypes Wahbi and Bidi17 in dynamic stability group with highest grain yield. Therefore, genotypes with b values close to 1 (Wahbi, b = 0.95 and Bidi17, b = 0.98) are preferred since it is indicative of wide adaptation (dynamic stability), provided their mean yield is over the general mean. Overall, the uses of the parametric and non-parametric index are very suitable tools to select adapted and stable genotypes under sub-humid conditions.

Breeders are permanently looking for an efficient method of developing genotypes with improved yield. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of some durum wheat genotypes, the study of the correlations between traits and the direct effect of each trait on final grain yield. Twenty genotypes of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) were planted in the experimental fields of INRAA, Setif, Algeria in (2016 –2017) crop season. The genotypes tested were grown in a randomized block design with three replications. The analyses of variance (ANOVA) demonstrate the existence of genetic diversity between genotypes tested. In addition, significant and positive correlations were registered between grain yield (GY) and days to heading (DH), number of spikes per square meter (NSM) and number of kernels per spike (NKS). The path analysis (PA) demonstrates positive and significant direct effects of the number of spikes per square meter (NSM), thousand kernels weight (TKW) and number of kernels per spike (NKS) on grain yield. Overall, the results proved that the genotypes Rezzak, Ofanto and BIDI 17 have the best ranking with the highest grain yield, and these can be recommended as the best genotypes for some in this area. In addition, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) proved that the genotypes Rezzak, Bidi17, Ofanto, Kebir and Adnan 2 are very suitable genotypes for growing under semi-arid conditions.

Abstract. The aim of the study was to investigate the productivity and yield stability at durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) treated with antibroadleaved herbicides during 3-rd stem node stage. The experiment was conducted during 2012-2014 on pellic vertisol soil type. Under investigation was Bulgarian durum wheat cultivar Victoria (Triticum durum var. valenciae). A total of 20 antibroadleaved herbicides were tested: Granstar 75 DF, Granstar super 50 SG, Ally max SG, Arat, Biathlon 4 D, Derby super WG, Mustang 306.25 SC, Weedmaster 646 CL, Sunsac, Secator OD, Logran 60 WG, Lintur 70 WG, Akurat 60 WG, Akurat extra WG, Eagle 75 DF, Herbaflex, Starane 250 EK, Sanafen, Dicotex 400 and Herby 675. All herbicides were treated in 3-rd stem node stage of durum wheat. It was found that during 3-rd stem node stage of durum wheat the antibroadleaved herbicides Arat, Biathlon, Derby super, Secator, Lintur, Akurat, Akurat extra and Starane can be used. These herbicides do not have a negative influence on grain yield. The most unstable yield is obtained after the treatment with herbicides Granstar, Granstar super, Ally max, Sunsac, Logran, Eagle, Herbaflex and Herby. Their selectivity to durum wheat is influenced most strongly by weather conditions during the vegetation period. From the viewpoint of technology for durum wheat growing, during 3-rd stem node stage technologically the most valuable are herbicides Derby super, Arat, Biathlon, Secator, Akurat, Akurat extra and Lintur. After the treatment with them high grain yield with high stability with relation to different years is obtained. The herbicides Granstar, Granstar super, Ally max, Sunsac, Weedmaster, Logran, Eagle, Herbaflex, Sanafen, Dicotex and Herby cannot be used during 3-rd stem node stage of durum wheat.

With the growing aridity of the climate on the Don, it became necessary to improve the methodology for conducting the  breeding of spring durum wheat. The main method of obtaining the source material remains intraspecific step hybridization. Crossings were performed between genetically distant forms, differing in origin and required traits and properties. The use of chemical mutagenesis was a productive way to change the heredity of genotypes in terms of drought tolerance. When breeding for productivity, both in dry years of research and in favorable years, the most objective markers were identified — the size of the aerial mass, the mass of grain per plant, spike, and harvest index. The magnitude of the correlation coefficients between the yield per unit area and the elements of its structure is established. It was most closely associated with them in dry years, while in wet years it decreased. Power the correlation of the characteristics of the pair - the grain yield per square meter - the aboveground biomass averaged r = 0.73, and in dry years it was higher (0.91) than in favorable ones (0.61 - 0.70) , between the harvest and the harvest index - r = 0.81 (on average). In dry years, the correlation coefficient increased to 0.92. Research data confirms the greatest importance of the mass of grain from one ear and the plant in the formation of grain yield per unit area in both dry and wet years. In dry years, the correlation coefficient between yield and grain mass per plant was on average r = 0.80; in favorable years, r = 0.69. The relationship between yield and grain mass from the ear was greater — r = 0.84 and r = 0.82, respectively. Consequently, the breeding significance of the aboveground mass and the productivity of the ear, as a criterion for the selection of the crop, especially increases in the dry years. They were basic in the selection.

Variety of spring durum wheat ‘Yadritsa’ and new promising lines were created using a winter component. The new breeding material belongs to the short-stemmed wheat group with high resistance to lodging (8–9 points) and exceeds the standard variety in productivity by 0.7–1.5 tons per 1 ha while maintaining high grain quality.

This study focuses on the genetic potential and genotypic stability of 17 durum wheat genotypes during three crop years under wet conditions in the north of Algeria (Algiers). The results showed highly significant (P<0.001) agro-morphological diversity between the genotypes and a genotype × environment interaction for all the traits except for fertile spikelet number. Wricke’s ecovalance (wi), Shukla's stability variance (σi2), heterogeneity variance (%HV) and the incomplete correlation (%IC) method were used to analyse the genotype × environment interaction on grain yield. The genotypes Ardente/Waha L2, Ardente and Saadi/Simeto L3 exhibited great instability with the highest values of wi, σi2, %HV and %IC. Ardente/Waha L1, Simeto/Vitron L5, Simeto and Ardente/Vitron L1 had the highest grain yield and average stability (wi, %HV and %IC were weak). Significant correlations were found between %HV, Rij2, bi, wi, σi2 and %IC, implying that they were similarly efficient in detecting stable genotypes and in measuring stability.
