Comparing Yield And Yield Stability Of Organically Bred And Conventionally Bred Winter Wheat Varieties In Organic Variety Trials In Luxembourg

Summary in the original language of the document

Weather conditions in Luxembourg became more instable, therefore varieties with more stable yields were need in organic farming in Luxembourg. Data of 4 winter wheat varieties (2 organic and 2 conventional), pooled data of all organic and all conventional varieties and total varieties through 2015-2019 were used for analyses. Results show no significant differences in grain yield between organic and conventional bred varieties. One organic and one conventional variety could be selected based on their yield stability. Therefor yield stability could be a useful tool for analysing variety trials.
