Abstract:

In order to understand its characteristics and value in wheat production, the yield, yield components, quality and disease resistance of the new wheat variety Ningmai 16 were compared with the check wheat variety Yangmai 158, based on the date of the regional trail in the mid-lower reach of the Yangtze River. The results showed that the Ningmai 16 was a high and stable yield, wide adaptability wheat variety, and its average yield was 5.92%~4.62% higher than that of the check wheat variety Yangmai 158, with more tillers and kernels, better quality and resistance to head scab and spindle streak mosaic virus. It was suitable for large-scale cultivation in the mid-lower reach of the Yangtze River.
