The main result of the durum program of Cereal Research Non-Profit Company (CRCo) is that the durum wheat was successfully domesticated in Hungary. Now the acreage of durum wheat in the country is about 10000-14000 ha, and this area is changing from year to year. The registered winter durum cultivars of CRCo are the following: GK Minaret, GK Tiszadur, GK Novodur and GK Bétadur. These winter durum varieties yield generally only 15-30 per cent less than the most widely produced winter bread wheat cultivars (T. aestivum L.). Spring durum wheat varieties (Lajtadur, Semperdur and Multidur) were adapted from Austria and France. Their productivity is 45-50 per cent less than the mean yield of winter-type bread wheat.
