| Abstract | ||||
| The new durum wheat cultivar Bani Sweef 5 has been selected from one of the advanced lines among CIMMYT collections grown in wheat breeding program at Sids Research Station. The grain yield of the new cultivar Bani Sweef 5 was evaluated through 44 experiments conducted at three different levels (5 micro, 18 macro and 21 verification) in 2001/2002 to 2004/2005 seasons . The results indicated that superiority of the new cultivar Bani Sweef 5 compared to the local commercial checks; Bani Sweef 1, Bani Sweef 3 and Sohag 3 in the Middle and Upper Egypt. Moreover, the new cultivar Bani Sweef 5 expressed its high resistance to the three wheat rusts (stripe, leaf and stem) at both seedling and adult stages. In addition, Bani Sweef 5 showed high semolina percentage content in comparison with the other three local checks (Bani Sweef 1, Bani Sweef 3 and Sohag 3). It could be summarized that Bani Sweef 5 is recommended to be grown in the Middle Egypt due to maximizing grain yield and its quality under this conditions. | ||||
