And in the conditions of luvic soils, a series of new characters were obtained in winter wheat lines. Compared to the control varieties, Trivale and Ursita, the 4 new lines obtained showed a number of improved characteristics. Thus, lines A4-10 and A57-14 approached the size of the Trivale variety, and in culture all these lines showed a very good uniformity. In terms of the ear formed, the new lines have surpassed those of the Trivale variety in length. Spike weight was superior to A4-10 and A57-14. The number of grains in a spike was higher in the A57-14 line (42.0 grains). Under the same conditions, the weight of the grains in one ear in the lines A4-10 and A57-14 again exceeded the Trivale variety. Line A57-14 slightly outperformed the new Ursita wheat variety. Positive correlations were obtained between grain yield and crude protein (CP%) and between PB and wet gluten (WG%). From the results obtained with the new winter wheat lines, a genetic progress was found, which recommends the future steps for homologation.
