In order to know the best sowing time of different ecological types of wheat varieties from Anhui for summer natural reproduction in Ping'an county, Qinghai province, wheat materials were sowed on different dates at the Anhui Summer propagation station (located in the Baijia village, Ping'an county, Qinghai province, 2 300 m above sea level). The results indicated that under natural conditions, the wheat materials with strong winterness, winterness, weak winterness, springiness and strong springness could normally head and mature when they were sowed before March 20, March 30, April 19, May 6 and May 20, respectively. The ear grain number is response to sowing date of the same type of wheat varieties,while the responses of ear number per plant, thousand seed weight and plant height were not with it grain number.According to heading rate and date, the winterness of the wheat cultivars in this study may be Yannong 19>Wanmai 52>(Wanmai 38, Huaimai 22,Handan 6172)>Jimai 22>Fanmai 5>Yanzhan 4110>Abodanza(CK)>(Yangmai 158, Ningmai 13). |
