Four hundred- ninety eight wheat genotypes of the early segregated generations presented two CIMMYT's International nurseries (40IBWSN and 32IBWSN) and local breeding lines in screening, selection and breeding program during 1999- 2011 at Al-Tuwaitha Experimental Station, Agricultural Research Directorate; Ministry of Science and technology. Individual spike selection for each genotype according to early flowering and maturity, lodging, rust and smut resistance, in addition to grain yield and/ or its components were practiced for (F2 – F7). Program continued by family breeding with the bulk method during 2007 – 2009. The advanced breeding lines were introduced in yield trial during the seasons of 2009/2010 and 2010/2011. genotype 1022 of the International nursery 40IBWSN which its origin 06 MULT 40 IBSN MX105 and the pedigree "PFAU / WEAVER*2/3 /WEAVER / ESDA / BORL 95 were exceeded on the other released cultivars in Iraq agriculture and out yielded more than 5.9 ton. ha-1 in comparison with the released cultivars with average ton. ha-1, 4.4 and 7 days for flowering and maturity in addition to its exceeding in spikes for one meter length and seeds.spikes-1.
