Abstract

Wheat line M-96-13 (denominated as Danesh variety) selected from received germplasm of international center of maize and wheat research (CIMMYT) within international nursery (47th IBWSN) was evaluated in 3 research stations of temperate zone in 2014. This line due to superiority of grain yield compared to check cultivars was selected for further evaluation. This line had grain yield of 7355 kgha-1 in preliminary yield trial of temperate zone compared to check varieties Parsi, Sirvan, Baharan and Sivand with mean yield 7229 kgha-1 tested in 2015-2016 crop season. This line was performed well in the advanced grain yield trial of temperate zone with grain yield of 7727 and 5319 kgha-1 compared to Baharan check with 7421 and 4729 kgha-1 of grain yield and also Rakhshan check with grain yields of 6963 and 5317 kgha-1 respectively under normal and stress conditions tests in 2016-2017 crop season. Mean grain yield of this line and check varieties Rakhshan and Baharan in the adaption trial of temperate zone was respectively 8633, 8511 and 8545 kgha-1 under normal conditions during 2017-2019 cropping seasons. Line M-96-13 showed grain yield of 7146 and 4675 kgha-1 under normal and stress conditions respectively in farmer fields compared to mean grain yield of two check varieties with 6674 and 4572 kgha-1 respectively. Line M-96-13 has favorable agronomic characteristics including favorable plant height, resistance to lodging and good bread making quality. This line following to evaluation in National Committee of Variety Registration was nominated as “Danesh” in 2021.
