Abstract
<jats:p>The article presents the results of research conducted in 2022-2024 on the productivity and agroecological adaptability of new genotypes of winter soft wheat in various agro-climatic zones of Moldova. It was established that the grain yield of winter wheat varied from 7.82 t/ha in the northern zone to 3.78 t/ha in the southern zone. The most favorable conditions for winter wheat were observed in 2024 (northern zone), where the average grain yield was 8.16 t/ha, and for the central and southern zones in 2023, with yields of 8.90 t/ha and 5.28 t/ha, respectively. The highest-yielding genotypes were SBM (8.75 t/ha) and Kuyalnik (8.51 t/ha) in the northern zone; GTM (7.74 t/ ha) and PIS (7.42 t/ha) in the central zone; and Kuyalnik (4.19 t/ha) and AIM (3.92 t/ha) in the southern zone. A high degree of agroecological adaptability to the conditions of the northern zone was shown by the genotypes SBM, TTM, AIM, PIM, OTM, and PZM; to the conditions of the central zone by SBM and GTM; and to the southern zone by PIM, MOM, and PZM. For the conditions of the republic, the control variety Kuyalnik and the GTM genotype demonstrated high agroecological adaptability. Half (50%) of the genotypes showed low adaptability to the conditions of Moldova.</jats:p>
