Introduction to the Characteristics and Traits of the Hangmai No. 96 Wheat Variety

Characteristics and traits: Spring type, relatively early maturing, growth period of about 77 days, maturity about 1 day earlier than the control Liaochun No. 9. Seedlings erect, leaf color dark green. Plant height about 80 cm, flag leaf semi-drooping, leaves relatively wide. Spike spindle-shaped, long awns, white glumes, red grains, hard texture. Average number of grains per spike 30.6, 1000-grain weight 35.0 g. Good lodging resistance, good ripening appearance. Drought resistance identification: medium drought resistance. Disease resistance identification: medium resistance to slow leaf rust and stem rust, highly susceptible to powdery mildew. Mixed samples tested in 2005 and 2006 respectively: test weight 788 g/L, 804 g/L, protein (dry basis) content 16.08%, 15.93%, wet gluten 35.9%, 35.2%, sedimentation value 27.0 ml, 25.7 ml, water absorption 61%, 60.9%, stability time 1.9 minutes, 1.8 minutes, maximum resistance to extension 163 E.U, 120 E.U, extensibility 17.0 cm, 16.2 cm, extension area 40 sq cm, 29 sq cm.

Yield performance: In 2005, it participated in the regional trial of the early-maturing dryland group of Northeast spring wheat varieties, with an average yield of 279.0 kg per mu, an increase of 13.1% over the control Liaochun No. 9; in the 2006 continued trial, the average yield was 279.6 kg per mu, an increase of 11.6% over the control Liaochun No. 9. In the 2006 production trial, the average yield was 289.1 kg per mu, an increase of 8.1% over the control Liaochun No. 9.

Key cultivation techniques: The suitable sowing period is March 15 to 25, and the suitable basic seedling number per mu is about 400,000 to 420,000 seedlings. Timely control of armyworms and aphids. Harvest in a timely manner at the late dough stage to prevent the wheat spikes from sprouting after rain and the grains from becoming moldy.
