Abstract
Trials were conducted in the experimental field of Agricultural University in Poznan, Poland, during 2000-01 and 2001-02. Twenty-two genotypes of winter spelt were compared regarding vegetation period, plant height, number of stems and spikes, yield per spike and plant, resistance to powdery mildew [ Erysiphe graminis ] and brown rust [ Puccinia recondita ] infestation. High variability of plant and spike productivity and of other morphological characters was found. The highest yields among tested genotypes were obtained with Waggershauser Hohenh Weisser Kolben (no. 22), Oberlaender (no. 2), Spelt inz Drogendijk (no. 4) and HTRI 9631/75 SKL (no. 16). Three genotypes: Spelt. inz Drogendijk (no. 4), Ostro (no. 8) and HTRI 16981/95 SKL (no. 21) expressed high resistance to brown rust and powdery mildew. Variety Waggershauser Hohenh Weisser Kolben (no. 22) showed the highest economic value among the tested spelt forms, due to the highest plant and spikes yields as well as high resistance to powdery mildew and brown rust
