Abstract :Wheat is an important cereal crop in terms of cultivation area and production in Turkey and around the world. Due to climate change, increasing world population, decreasing agricultural lands and waters, the demand for wheat and wheat-based products has increased in Turkey. The study was carried out to determine yield and yield components of some bread wheat genotypes under Duzce ecological conditions in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 growing seasons. In this research, spike length, spikelet number per spike, grain number per spike, grain weight per spike, thousand kernel weight and grain yield were investigated. According to the two year results, spike length 8.3-11.9 cm, number of spikelets per spike 16.5-19.9, number of grains per spike 44.8-57.8, grain weight per spike 1.68-2.50 g, thousand kernel weight 40.8-51.2 g and grain yield ranged between 4611-7875 kg ha-1. The highest yielding genotypes were found as H8G3, H8G5, H9G4, Rumeli and Lucilla.
