On the other hand, Sakha 105 was the most preferred rice variety, while Giza 181and Giza 177 were the least preferred rice varieties. In respect to free choice tests on different wheatvarieties , the results indicated that, Sakha 93 and Shandweel were the most preferred wheat varieties, while Seds 12, Gemeiza 11 and Egypt 2 were the least preferred wheat varieties. On the other hand, Sakha 105 was the most preferred rice variety, while Giza 181, Giza 177 and Egyptian jasmen were the least preferred rice varieties. | ||||
