Abstract

The new durum wheat variety Aban, with pedigree of Mck2/Tilo2//Bcrch1/Kund1149/Seri 33/2009-10 entered in the national experiments through the 33th IDYT ICARDA international yield comparison test and was evaluated at Gachsaran station in 2009-2010. This line was further evaluated with 78 other lines in Gachsaran, Moghan and Gonbad research stations for the advanced performance comparison tests in 2010-2011. This line was selected for semi-tropical regions after its superiority over the Dehdasht and Seimareh check cultivars. For evaluation of adaptability of genotypes, an experiment was conducted during 2011-2014, under dryland conditions. The results showed a 4% superiority of the Aban variety in seed yield compared to the Dehdash variety. The average yield of the selected line in 2014-2017 with supplementary irrigation conditions was 3493 kgha-1 compared to the Dehdash variety with a seed yield of 3081 kgha-1. The described line was selected with its superiority under dryland conditions and supplementary irrigation compared to Dehdash variety, appropriate response to yellow and brown rust diseases, and thousand seed weight, and in total showed 11% grain yield superiority over Dehdasht check cultivar. Based on the bread quality characteristics, Aban had desirable characteristics and showed superiority compared to the Dehdasht variety. Therefore, due to these results, new line was selected and released for cultivation in the semi- tropical regions of the country and introduced as Aban cultivar.
