In the Educational, Experimental and Implementation Base of the Agrucultural University of Plovdiv, a field trial was conducted in 2018-2021, in which new varieties of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) were tested, including: Viomi, Saya, Railidur and Helix. The varieties were compared with the Predel variety, which is the productivity standard in Bulgaria. From the field trial it was proved that the productivity of durum wheat variety Helix was the highest 4.732 t/ha which is 0.511 t/ha (12.1%) higher grain yield compared to the standard variety Predel. The yields of the other durum wheat varieties studied were as follows: variety Viomi 4.572 t/ha with 0.351 t/ha (8.3%); variety Saya 4.421 t/ha with 0.200 t/ha (4.7%) and variety Railidur 4.379 t/ha with 0.158 t/ha (3.7%) more grain compared to variety Predel.
