Abstract:

To screen wheat varieties suitable for cultivation in Cixi,a comparative trial was conducted on 10 wheat varieties including Yangmai 29,with Yangmai 20 as the control. The results showed that Zhefengmai 11 and Zhenmai 18 exhibited good yield performance,achieving yields of 6 640 kg·hm-2 and 6 533 kg·hm-2,respectively,which were 6.3% and 4.6% higher than that of the control. These varieties had a moderate growth period and good field resistance,with no lodging observed. Therefore,Zhefengmai 11 and Zhenmai 18 are recommended for demonstration and promotion in the Cixi region. Furthermore,correlations were observed between yield(and its components)and stem traits among the tested wheat varieties. To achieve high yield and increased income,it is advisable to select varieties with lower plant height and center of gravity,shorter and thicker basal internodes,a higher lodging resistance index,longer panicles,more kernels per spike,and heavier grain weight.
