Genetic gain in grain yield and main agronomic traits of winter wheat during the past 90 years in Pannonian plain

This study aimed to quantify the changes in grain yield and main agronomic traits winter wheat cultivars registered during past 90 years . A field trial with 18 from 1930 2016 was conducted at experimental Rimiski šančevi two growing seasons The following were measured: yield, stem height, spike length, heading date, hectolitre mass, 1000 weight, number per unit area results of this showed that there a significant genotypic effect on studied Du-ring years, increased rate 50 kg ha -1 year cultivar release Grain improvement followed by height decrease (0 .4 cm release) earlier date modern cultivars, which 7 -8 days than older ones Modern characterized higher ol-der while weight not significantly related Further should be further increase maintaining weight.
