Variability of plant height and harvest index of various wheat genotypes cultivated on chernozem and solonetz

Solonetz is a type of halomorphic soil which is present on 80 000 ha in Vojvodina. Field experiments were conducted during 1999/2000 vegetation periods, involving eleven wheat genotypes cultivated on solonetz, location Kumane, and on chernozem, location Rimski an evi. The variability of plant height and harvest index on different soil types was investigated, as well as the correlation between these two yield parameters. The goal of this research was to establish the significance of various genotypes and soil type effects on plant height and harvest index, as well as the reaction of genotypes regarding different amelioration rates on solonetz.
