Abstract

Five wheat (four forage lines and a variety of grain) were used to determine the rate of imbibition, water volume absorbed and electrical conductivity for its response and maximum value. They were evaluated in laboratory conditions under a completely random design with three repetitions at intervals of four hours. Data were analyzed as a completely random for each reading and divided into completely random for all readings taken, taking readings as large plot and genotypes as small plot plots. The results showed significant (p <0.01) between readings and genotypes for the three variables and there was significance in the reading * interaction genotypes for electrical conductivity. The response was linear absorbed water, while the rate of imbibition for the electrical conductivity and the response was quadratic. The maximum values of the rate of imbibition wheat ranged between 9.58 and 13.56 hours. The electrical conductivity is provided between 6.93 and 9.87 hours. High significant positive correlations were found between the three variables, concluding that given the high positive and significant correlation between the rate of imbibition and electrical conductivity either may be used as another indicator.
