1000-kernel weight — durum wheat

Triticum durum Desf.

A key breeding and economic indicator characterizing the plumpness and density of Triticum durum caryopses, used for calculating seeding rates and evaluating productivity.

In the reference 113 varieties crop Durum wheat, where this is mentioned in the description.

For durum wheat, values of this indicator range from 22–30 g for small grains to 55–60 g for very large ones. Precise parameters are determined by the genetic potential of the variety and grain-filling conditions; in drought conditions, the 1000-kernel weight decreases significantly due to incomplete caryopsis development.

The indicator is critical for calculating seeding rates, allowing the conversion from weight-based rates to quantitative ones to optimize crop stand density. In breeding, a high 1000-kernel weight in durum wheat serves as an indicator of endosperm plumpness and the variety's adaptability to stress factors.
