Abstract：Zhengmai 918 is a new high-quality and high-yield wheat variety bred by the Fengyou Breeding Team of Henan Academy of Agricultural Sciences using the pedigree method.Its parental combination is Zhengmai 366/Fanmai 065050//Zhengmai 7698.This variety was approved by Henan Province in 2022(Yushenmai 20220040)and by the national Huanghuai southern region in 2024(Guoshenmai 20241043).In the national Huanghuai southern regional trial,the average yield of Zhengmai 918 reached 602.8 kg/667 m2,which was 6.49%higher than that of the control,and the yield was extremely significant for two consecutive years.The average high-stability coefficient of regional trial and production trial was 87.24%,which was 7.05%higher than that of the control.In the Henan provincial regional trial and the national Huanghuai southern region regional trial,the quality index of this variety has met the standard of strong gluten wheat for four consecutive years,showing that Zhengmai 918 has not only good high-yield and stable-yield performance,but also good quality.This study introduces the breeding process,variety characteristics and quality characteristics of Zhengmai 918,analyzes its yield components and high-yield cultivation technology points,and aims to provide a scientific basis for its large-scale promotion.
