Selection of useful caraway (Carum carvi, L.) genotypes for following breeding process

Abstract

Eight genotypes of caraway were tested in vegetative periods 1999/2000 and 2000/2001. The weight of achenes on plant, the weight of achenes on individual branches, the number of achenes on plant and on individual branches, the weight of thousand achenes on plant and on individual branches and the height of plants were evaluated. The data from vegetative periods and from perenial experiments were tested statistically. The results were used for choose of genotype of caraway as a basic for new variety of non-shattering type.
