Variety traits
Triticum aestivum L.
A key indicator of wheat kernel size and plumpness, expressed in grams and adjusted to a standard moisture content of 14%. It is the primary parameter for calculating the seeding rate in millions of viable seeds per hectare.
In the reference 557 varieties crop Bread wheat, where this is mentioned in the description.
For soft wheat, the 1000-kernel weight characterizes the density and biological value of the yield. Depending on growing conditions, variety, and the influence of abiotic stresses, such as drought or high temperatures during the grain-filling period, values range from 22–25 g for shriveled grain to 50 g and above for large grain, with average values typically ranging from 30–40 g.
This indicator is an element of the yield structure and is used to plan sowing density. High kernel weight positively correlates with seed germination energy and can influence flour yield and the technological properties of the grain during processing. A decrease in weight relative to varietal characteristics serves as an indicator of the impact of unfavorable external factors during the growing season.
