The visit included field evaluations of several important agronomic traits, including plant height, number of spikes per plant, and tolerance to prevailing environmental conditions. In addition, growth and productivity indicators of the different genetic lines were recorded as part of ongoing efforts to develop drought-tolerant wheat varieties adapted to farming conditions in arid and semi-arid regions.

  The research team emphasized that such field monitoring activities constitute a fundamental stage in the evaluation of breeding lines and the selection of superior genetic materials characterized by high productivity and adaptability. These efforts contribute significantly to strengthening food security and improving wheat production in Ninawa Province.

  This research activity aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:

SDG 1: No Poverty

SDG 2: Zero Hunger

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

SDG 13: Climate Action

SDG 15: Life on Land
