Abstract：A new barley variety named Wansimai No.3 was bred by Crop Research Institute,Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences using the pedigree method.The variety has a high-yielding ability in both grain and forage.In multi-point joint identification in Anhui Province during 2018-2020,the average yield of Wansimai No.3 was 480.64 kg/667 m2,which was 10.42％higher than that of the control variety Xiyin No.2.In 2023,Wansimai No.3 was approved as a non-major crop variety by Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.The registration number is GPD Barley(2023)340003.It is a spring multi-rowed barley variety with strong stem,good tillering ability and a 187-day growing period.The variety has good agronomic traits and lodging resistance such as plant height of 90 cm,thousand-grain weight of 31 g,grain protein content of 10.31％,starch content of 632.6 g/kg and β-glucan content of 5.01％.In order to enhance the use of Wansimai No.3 in feed barley production in Yangtze-Huai River and along Huai River areas of Anhui Province,this paper introduced its breeding process,characteristics,and provided a series of high-yielding cultivation techniques for harvesting green forage,silage and grain.
