Abstract
The ten genotypes of soft wheat (Abu Ghraib, IPA 99, IPA 95, Sham 6, AL-ezz, Al-Rashidia, AL-Fath, Sham 4, Sham 8, and wheat 17) were planted in a sandy soil to test their ability to form tillers. Genotypes were laid out with randomizing completely block design with three replicates. Seeds were planted in an experimental unit of 1 m2 and 25 x 25 cm in length with one grain of wheat. In order to make enough of plants freely enough to ensure maximum production of tillers. The results were summarized as following: Sham 4 was significantly higher in the formation of tillers rate of 21.9 tiller, and plant yield 31.2 g compared with other genotypes. Al-ezz and Al-Rashidia were significantly higher plant height of 83.3 and 76.8 cm respectively. Al-Rashidia was higher for average area of flag leaf and the length of the spike was 49.8 cm2 and 20.0 cm respectively. Genotype (wheat 17) recorded significant increasing higher than of average chlorophyll (SPAD) 60.0 and the number of grains in the spike was 63.7 grain. While superiority of Al-ezz significantly to give highest rate of weight 1000 grains amounted to 36.0 g. Conclude from results that the increase in the number of tillers in plant was a reason to increase its harvest, especially tillers which produce fertile spikelets.
