The paper presents the climate evolution in Northern Baragan Plain and the impact of current climate changes on the winter wheat crop, with the formulation of some recommendations for farmers in this agricultural area. Five Romanian varieties of wheat were studied, which are multiplied at the Agricultural Research and Development Station Braila, in the last five agricultural years, which were the most difficult because of climate changes, due to the pedological drought recorded in Northern Baragan Plain. Atmospheric heat negatively influences the physiology of agricultural plants, through deficiencies in root absorption and photosynthesis, increasing evapotranspiration and having the effect of drying leaves, deficient pollination of flowers and lack of fruiting, i.e. seed formation. The study carried out aims to support the revitalization of the Romanian seed market to ensure better access for farmers to the most efficient seed material in the zonal pedo-climatic conditions. Recommendations were formulated for choosing the best performing wheat varieties, in the pedo-climatic conditions of Northern Baragan.
