| 【Objective】Jilin Agricultural University undertook the China-Aid Zambia Agricultural Technology Demonstration Center Project for implementing the tasks of “personnel training, scientific research, demonstration and promotion, publicity and display”.With respect to the will of recipient countries and upholding of the principle of “proposed by recipient country, agreed by recipient country, and led by recipient country”, the University carried out wheat introduction work according to the Zambian local demand of wheat cultivation.【Method】JZ5, a fine spring wheat variety in China, was bred by using C7906 as the female parent and NS2 as the male parent through genealogical method. It was introduced to Zambia in 2011.【Result】After years of introduction experiment, regional test and production test, JZ5 showed an average spike grain number of 65 grains, dry mass of 1 000 grains of 54.2 g, and yield potential of 11 000 kg/hm2 in all the tested wheat. During the wheat planting period, Zambia was in the dry season, during which dry-hot wind had a great influence on wheat grouting, while JZ5, with fast grouting rate and high seed setting rate, was barely affected by dryhot wind. It had strong resistance to dry-hot wind, aphids and powdery mildew, and had obvious characteristics of high and stable yield. It was approved by the Seed Control and Certification Institute （SCCI） of the Ministry of Agriculture of Zambia on March 7, 2016.【Conclusion】It is suitable for planting in three ecological zones in Zambia, allowing commercial promotion in Zambia, and enriching the germplasm resources in Zambia. |
