in this video come characters of PBW 826 variety discussed
The new wheat variety PBW 826 has been approved for cultivation in the Punjab state under irrigated timely sown conditions. Its average grain yield is 24.0 quintals per acre. Based on adaptive and multilocation research trials conducted under irrigated, timely-sown conditions in the Punjab state, wheat variety PBW 826 out-yielded the check varieties HD 3086, HD 2967, DBW 187, DBW 222 and PBW 766 by 15.5, 31.6, 11.3, 8.7 and 4.4 per cent, respectively. It possesses higher grain weight and hectolitre weight than check varieties. Its average plant height is 100 cm and is thus slightly shorter in height than other recently released varieties. It matures in about 148 days and is thus about 4-6 days earlier in maturity than other recent checks. It is relatively less sensitive to high temperature stress. This is further corroborated by its outstanding performance under diverse agro-climatic conditions encompassing several locations with high temperature stress. In research trials at national level, PBW 826 ranked first for grain yield in North-Western Plains Zones of India (NWPZ) during all three years of testing (2019-20 to 2021-22) as well as in North-Eastern Plains Zone of India (NEPZ) during 2019-2020 and 2020-21. Based on its splendid performance for grain yield and other traits, it has also been identified for release in the entire NWPZ and NEPZ, simultaneously, which is a rarity.
