The economic importance of bread wheat necessitates optimizing of the quality of production and its consumption. Many bread wheat cultivars are grown in Iran in each cropping cycle, however, there is not accurate information about the quality of grains produced in farmers' fields. In this research, important quality traits (protein content, wet gluten, zeleny sedimentation volume, grain hardness and SDS) of 9232 grain samples of different bread wheat cultivars which were collected from the farmers' fields (irrigated and rainfed) during five growing seasons 2013-18 were evaluated. Using the results of quality laboratory and the cultivated areas of bread wheat commercial cultivars and promising lines grown for producing certified seed in farmers’ fields in each province during experiment years, the weighted average of grain quality traits of samples from farmers' fields of each province was assessed. The results showed that bread wheat grains produced in Kerman province by 12.2% protein content, 51.9 grain hardness index, 61.3 mm SDS sedimentation volume, Ilam and Khuzestan provinces by 29.2 ml zeleny, and Golestan province by 33% wet gluten had the highest rank among bread wheat grains produced in certified producing farmers’ fields. Results of this study would enable agricultural policy makers and nutrient experts to choose suitable bread wheat cultivars for producing required grains for food industry based on enduse quality properties of grains produced in different provinces of Iran.
