A new bread wheat variety, HD3059 (Pusa Pachheti) has been
released and notifed by the Central Sub- Committee on Crop
Standards, Notifcation and Release of Varieties for Agricultural
Crops, Government of India for commercial cultivation under late
sown irrigated conditions of North Western Plains Zone (NWPZ) of the
country. HD 3059 has average yield of 4.25 t/ha with yield potential of
5.94t/ha under late sown irrigated conditions and showed superiority
over checks (PBW373, PBW 590 and WH 1021). It is resistant to yellow
rust and brown rust. It has shown superior quality parameters with high
protein content (13.6%), high sedimentation value (52ml), best Glu-1
Score (10/10) and good extraction rate (70.1%) meeting all the criteria
for superior bread making qualities. This beingan early maturing
variety has promise for late sown irrigated planting areas following
basmati rice/wheat; potato/wheat and sugarcane/wheat cropping
systems and thus will contribute to increasing wheat production in
Indo-Gangetic region in India.
