Introduction to the Beimai No. 6 Wheat Variety and Key Cultivation Points

Characteristics: Spring type, late maturing, growth period of about 99 days, maturity about 2 days later than the control Xinke Han No. 9. Seedlings erect, leaves dark green. Plant height about 105 cm. Spike spindle-shaped, long awned, white glume, red grain, vitreous. Average number of spikes per mu 389,000 spikes, grains per spike 32.9, 1000-grain weight 34.8 g. Relatively good drought resistance, average lodging resistance, relatively good maturity appearance. Disease resistance identification: immune to leaf rust, highly resistant to stem rust, moderately susceptible to scab and root rot. In 2004 and 2005, mixed samples were tested respectively: test weight 832 g/L, 824 g/L, protein (dry basis) content 15.61%, 13.19%, wet gluten content 37.4%, 29.6%, water absorption 66.0%, 65.2%, stability time 3.1 minutes, 3.2 minutes, maximum resistance to extension 198 E.U, 253 E.U, extensibility 19.4 cm, 21.1 cm, extension area 53 sq cm, 74 sq cm.

Yield performance: In 2004, it participated in the regional trial of the late-maturing group of Northeast spring wheat varieties, with an average yield of 284.5 kg per mu, an increase of 6.0% over the control Xinke Han No. 9; in the continued trial in 2005, the average yield was 295.0 kg per mu, an increase of 2.6% over the control Xinke Han No. 9. In the 2006 production trial, the average yield was 308.4 kg per mu, an increase of 3.2% over the control Xinke Han No. 9.

Key cultivation techniques: Sow at the appropriate time, with a suitable basic seedling population of about 430,000 seedlings per mu, apply fertilizer deeply in autumn or in layers in spring, press the young seedlings at the three-leaf stage, and harvest promptly at maturity.
