Methods and results of the selection of winter soft wheat

The results of selection of winter wheat for 1912-2017 are presented. Methods of selection on the bog and in irrigation are shown. The main method of breeding is the hybridization of winter-hardy parent varieties with varieties of inorionic selection resistant to lodging, attack by brown rust. Pairwise, recurrent, saturating crosses were used. Selection of winter-hardy forms was carried out against the background of artificial snowlessness and on a bulk shaft. As a result of selection, varieties of winter wheat, included in the gene pool of winter-hard wheat of the VIR collection, were created. Twenty-six varieties were created for state variety testing. It was divided into 9 varieties. Obtained 8 patents.
