Why new varieties are evolved continuously and old run out with the passage of time. Simple reason is that they lose their resistance against diseases (Rust) and production capacity. Most farmers can not maintain their purity and old varieties run out. Some of the long lasting varieties like Pak-81, inqilab-91 and Faisalabad-2008 have record performance of 10 to 15 years but most have three to seven years only. Wheat research institute (AARI) Faisalabad’s verities are dominantly grown all over Punjab, parts of Sindh and KPK. This institute is developing new varieties under the scenario of changing weather and climate conditions. In this connection, three new varieties of wheat crop wiz Dilkash-2021, Subhani-2021 and MH-2021 have been evolved which have compact, white ear, bold grain size, medium stature, very high resistance against rust and yield potential of 70 maunds and even more in some cases. Dilkash variety is for mid-season and really attractive (دلکش) during its tilering stage. Subhabni variety has vertical leaf orientation and may also perform even in case of late sowing. Bold grain of MH-2021 make it very exclusive variety. We pay homage to the services of late Dr. Subhani for the nation of Pakistan.
