Field Evaluation of Wheat Varieties Using Canopy Temperature Depression in Three Different Climatic Growing Seasons.

ABSTRACT: During the breeding progress, screening excellent wheat varieties and lines takes lots of labor and time. Moreover, different climatic conditions will bring more complex and unpredictable situations. Therefore, the selection efficiency needs to be improved by applying the proper selection index. This study evaluates the capability of CTD as an index for evaluating wheat germplasm in field conditions and proposes a strategy for the proper and efficient application of CTD as an index in breeding programs. In this study, 186 bread wheat varieties were grown in the field and evaluated for three continuous years with varied climatic conditions: normal, spring freezing, and early drought climatic conditions. The CTD and photosynthetic parameters were investigated at three key growth stages, cano
