Main criteria for selection of new
wheat lines in Southern Spain.
•  Yield stability (drought tolerance and high
potential). Average yield from 2 to 5 tons/ha
depending of rains (from 300 to 800 mm.)
•  Diseases Resistance (powdery mildew, septoria
leaf blotch, tan spot, leaf and yellow rust, etc.).
•  High grain quality (for bread and pasta
industry).
Yield Stability in Southern Spain.
Yield Trials in average
conditions (3 ton/ha)
Yield Trials in dry
conditions (2 ton/ha)
Yield Trials in high potential
conditions (6 ton/ha)

Multiplication of prebasic and basic seeds in
farmers fields with average soils and management.
Field days with cooperatives farmers listening their
advice about new cultivars.
Production and sale of commercial seeds and return
of 24 €/ton (7% of price) for R+D activities.
Investment for breeding new pulses crops (pea,
