During the period of 2015-2018 in South-Central Bulgaria a field experiment was researched. The cultivars common wheat 'Ekzotik’, 'Miryana’, 'Avenue’, 'Anapurna’ and 'Neven’, were studied. The experiment was applied in block design with 4 replications and 15 m2 plot size, after pre crop sunflower. The growing of plants was performed in compliance with the standard technology. The aim of the present investigation was to carry out a comparative study of the yield and quality of some common wheat cultivars grown in South-Central Region of Bulgaria. The analysis of the results showed that the highest grain yield was obtained from ʻAvenueʼ variety - 7400 kg/ha, followed by ʻAnapurnaʼ - 7100 kg/ha and the lowest one - from ʻNevenʼ variety 4067 kg/ha. Among the studied common wheat cultivars, the highest values of thousand kernel (grain) weight and the test weight were reported for 'Miryana’ (50.3 g and 81.0 kg, respectively) and the highest wet gluten content was established in 'Anapurna’ cultivar (27.0%). The lowest value of the test weight was reported for 'Neven’ cultivar (73.3 kg); of the thousand kernel (grain) weight - for 'Anapurna’ cultivar (34.3 g) and of the wet gluten content - for 'Avenue’ cultivar (22.0%).
