Abstract
The new early bread wheat cultivar Sakha 96 was selected from the breeding program of Wheat Research Department, Field Crops Research Institute, Agricultural Research Center, Egypt, at Sakha Agricultural Research Station, considering earliness, high grain yield, and wheat rust resistance. The newly selected cultivar was evaluated at the national level in the preliminary, advanced, and on-farm yield trials started in 2017/2018 through 2022/2023 growing seasons. The new cultivar proved its superiority in earliness characterizations compared with other commercial cultivars during the successive evaluation stages in the study locations. Also, it had better and reasonable grain yield especially in late planting date than the other non-early commercial cultivars. This new variety also has high degrees of resistance to three wheat rusts in all successive growing locations and seasons. The new cultivar Sakha 96 has been described and registered according to the International Union for the Protection of new Varieties of Plants (UPOV). Thus, the Wheat Research Department recommends Sakha 96 as a new commercial wheat cultivar, especially for late planting if necessary.
