Key cultivation techniques: the suitable sowing period is from late October to early November, with about 150,000 basic seedlings per mu; apply sufficient base fertilizer and apply seedling fertilizer early to prevent excessive or late nitrogen application in the later stage from affecting weak-gluten quality; adopt measures such as seed dressing with paclobutrazol and controlling fertilizer and water at the jointing stage to prevent lodging.

Suitable areas: planting in Jiangsu, the Huainan region of Anhui, southern Henan, the Xiangfan region of Hubei, Zhejiang and other places in the wheat region of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
