Adaptive potential of winter wheat
We present the data on the evolutionary changes of winter wheat varieties adapted to the conditions of the Сentral region of Non-chernozem zone. On the basis of the generated new morphological type variety combining shortness (80-90 cm), winter hardiness and productivity, new varieties were obtained above the standard for productivity on 10 hundredweight/ha. Top varieties Inna and Pamyaty Fedina were among the parental forms of varieties Nemchinovskaya 24, Galina, Moscovskaya 56, Nemchinovskaya 17, Nemchinovskaya 57. The distinctive features and properties of varieties are presented. For the ﬁrst time in the region the variety Moscovskaya 39 was obtained with stable high quality grain protein content of 14-17 %. The selection achievement is Nemchinovskaya 24 a variety with high yields, not lodge, no infestation of brown rust. Yield potential of these selection varieties created in 1990-2000 can reach 80-100 hundredweight/ha.
