Abstract: This study considers the behavior of the principal varieties of autumn wheat, recommended by experts, in the temperature, humidity and soil conditions of Arad area, in order to find the most efficient solutions to expand this crop, considering that this plant represents an essential source of proteins and carbohydrates. Mono-factorial experiments were performed with 7 varieties of autumn wheat, in optimal technological conditions, in 4 repetitions. The experimental variants (V1 to V7) were composed of the following autumn wheat varieties: V1 – ‘Fundulea 4’; V2 – ‘Glosa’; V3 – ‘Flamura 85’; V4 – ‘Dropia’; V5 – ‘Apache’; V6 – ‘Lovrin 34’; V7 – ‘Libelula’. The evaluated characteristics are: plants hight; weight of 1000 beans; hectoliter weight; number of wheat ears per m2; number of grains per wheat ear; grain and straw production; protein, gluten and fat content percentage in grains. Registered data recommends Arad area (Crișurilor Plain) area for successful cultivation of some autumn wheat varieties in optimal conditions.
