Service Description: Spring Wheat

Major constraints: leaf rust, stem rust, stripe rust, lodging
Representative sites: Gangetic Valley, India; Indus Valley, Pakistan; Nile Valley, Egypt; Yaqui Valley, Mexico
ME2A
Spring sown, largely red grain (except Ethiopia)

Average min. temperature for wettest quarter 16°C > T = 3°C
Major constraints: barley yellow dwarf virus, stripe rust, head scab, septoria, tan spot
Representative sites: Kulumsa, Ethiopia; Toluca, Mexico
ME2B
Autumn sown, largely red grain

Document Info: - Title: Wheat Mega-Environments
- Author: jarista2_CIMMYT
- Comments:
- Subject: CIMMYT develops improved wheat germplasm for use in developing and emerging countries, which grow wheat on about 110 m ha (Lantican et al., 2005). To address the needs of these diverse wheat growing areas, CIMMYT uses the concept of mega-environments
