Methodology for assessing the agroecological adaptability of genotypes under global climate warming by A. I. Kincharov, E. A. Demina, M. N. Kincharova, T. Yu. Taranova, O. S. Mullayanova, K. Yu. Chekmasova

“…The results of a competitive test of 5 cultivars and 9 promising lines of spring wheat for their yield across six years contrasting in moisture availability by calculating the indicators of responsiveness to favorable conditions, grain yield depression under unfavorable conditions and the relative yield index were used to develop a complex indicator proposed to assess the agroecological adaptability of a genotype to contrasting environmental conditions.Results. The proposed method makes it possible to perform a comprehensive assessment that takes into account the responsiveness of an accession to improved agroclimatic conditions and the degree of its reaction to adverse environmental factors, taking into account the yield index in the studied set. …”
