Agricultural behavior and flour quality of Cuban wheat genotypes cultivated in Artemisa province
Main Article Content
Abstract
Despite the existence of a national wheat germplasm with good performance for the productive conditions of Cuba, its cultivation has not been able to become widespread. Producers are unfamiliar with the agronomic management of the materials, do not have access to seeds or are skeptical about successfully achieving competitive production with sufficient quality for the flour industry. The following work aims to characterize the agricultural behavior and flour quality of T. aestivum genotypes under the production conditions of the Artemisa province. Sowing took place from January 2023 at the “Niceto Pérez” CCS in San Antonio de los Baños. Meteorological variables of interest as well as post-harvest parameters such as plant height, number of tillers per clump, spike length, total number of seeds in a gram and yield were taken from each cultivar. In addition, five kilograms of grains of the genotypes ‘CC-204’ and ‘I-399’ were milled and it carried out some quality analyses to the flour obtained. The agro-climatic conditions during the period allows the development of the genotypes despite the high temperatures. Each material presented different morphological characteristics, 'M-04' stood out for its height and the size of the spikes and seeds, while 'I-399' presented the highest number of productive shoots per clump. The “C-204” genotype was the one that obtained the highest yield and good aptitudes for the flour industry.
