Performance of Selected Strains of ‘Farro’ (Triticum monococcum L., Triticum dicoccum Schübler, Triticum Spelta L.) and Durum Wheat (Triticum Durum Desf. cv. Trinakria) in the Difficult Flat Environment of Southern Italy

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of three species of unhulled‐wheat (Triticum monococcum L., Triticum dicoccum Schubler and Triticum spelta L.) with respect to durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf. cv. Trinakria) in southern Italy's flat environment. As far as yield is concerned, the mean yield was significantly different among species. Durum wheat yielded 16.1 %, 37.6% and 69.5 % more than dicoccum, spelta and monococcum species, respectively. Among unhulled‐wheat species, only Triticum dicoccum showed some similarity with durum wheat, such as one‐thousand kernels weight, plant height and number of spikes per m2. Among the factors studied, the days to reach heading represented the factor that mostly influenced yield
