Grain Yield Performance and Quality Characteristics of Waxy and Non-Waxy Winter Wheat Cultivars under High and Low-Input Farming Systems.

ABSTRACT: Waxy starch with a modified amylose-to-amylopectin ratio is desired for a range of applications in food and non-food industries; however, yield performance and grain quality characteristics of waxy wheat cultivars are usually inferior in comparison to advanced non-waxy cultivars. In this study, we compared waxy ('Eldija', 'Sarta') and non-waxy ('Skagen', 'Suleva DS') winter wheat cultivars grown under high and low-input farming systems over two cropping seasons by evaluating their yield and grain quality, including flour, dough, and starch physicochemical properties. The yield of waxy cv. 'Sarta' was significantly lower compared to the non-waxy cultivars across all trials; however, waxy cv. 'Eldija' had a similar yield as non-waxy cultivars (except under high-input conditions cv. 'Skagen')
