Abstract
Field experiments were conducted over three growing seasons, during 2009-2012, at the experimental farm of Field Crop Sciences - College of Agriculture - University of Baghdad. This study aimed to application pure line selection in fifteen F4 segregating populations of bread wheatproduced from half diallel crossing among 6 parents .The selection was applied in the first season by using 10% selection intensity, further screening was conducted and selected 12 plants from each population.Thegrains of individual selected plants were planted in the following year in plant to row method and the best15 progeny lines were selected depending on yield performance. Varietal trail was conducted in the third season as RCBD with four replications using a split plot arrangement, where three seed rates (120, 160, and 200 kg.ha-1) randomized in the main plots and 21 genotypes in the sub-plots. The genotypes included fifteen F6 progeny lines plus six parents: Al-fatah, A3103, M2.0, IPA99, A4.10, and Abu-Ghraib3. The results showed that the progeny lines S123, S102, S52, S130, S148 and S83, were take lowest days to flowering and highest in grain filling duration. Significant differences were found between seeding rates for all the studied traits, this revealed highest genetic variations among selected lines.
