Abstract: The field experiment was adopted to study the development behavior of ‘Shunmai 1718’ and ‘Zhongmai 175’ in late-mature winter wheat region in Jinzhong. The two varieties were from winter wheat region in north of China and middle-mature half-winter wheat region in Huanghuai, respectively. The plant traits were investigated at reviving, getting up, jointing, booting and heading stages, respectively. After harvesting, yield and yield structure with grain quality were determined. The results showed that two varieties were potential to be popularized in Jinzhong. Speaking in detail, the yield level of ‘Zhongmai 175’ was higher than of ‘Shunmai 1718’, while the resistance capacity of ‘Shunmai 1718’ against late freezing disaster and its grain quality had better than of ‘Zhongmai 175’. But plant height of ‘Shunmai 1718’ was short, so fertilizing-watering at jointing stage should be pay attention to promote stem elongation, enhance heading rates of stem and tiller, and then improve grain filling in production. The study could provide theoretical basis for digging sufficiently Shanxi wheat resource.
