III. Summary of Conclusions. 



The conclusions arrived at as a result of the investigations 

 described in this paper may be summed up as follows : — 



1. Pusa 12, a large grained, white wheat, grown at thirteen 

 stations on the Indo-Gangetic alluvium and on the black soils of 

 Peninsular India under widely differing conditions as regards soil, 

 available moisture, and agricultural practice has maintained its 

 high milling and baking qualities in all cases even under unfavour- 

 able conditions. It behaved in the mill as a free-milling wheat and 

 yielded strong flour and high grade loaves. 



2. The best results with Pusa 12 were given by the samples 

 from the Indus Valley, the second best by those from the black 

 cotton soil stations followed closely by those grown at Pusa and 

 other stations on the Gangetic alluvium. 



3. In the case of Pusa 4, another white wheat with good grain 

 quahties, the samples grown at Pusa, Tharsa, and Hoshangabad 

 behaved very well in the bakehouse and in the markings for stability 

 and strength were quite close together. 



4. The milling and baking tests of the new Pusa hybrids, 

 Nos. 107, 108, and 110, show that, in the process of hybridization, the 

 milling and baking qualities of the strong parent have been trans- 

 mitted unimpaired to the offspring. As far as the tests with these 

 wheats have gone, the grain qualities have not been affected to any 

 extent by change of environmentfromPusatothe Central Provinces. 



5. The results obtained generally confirm and amplify the 

 conclusions reached in the previous paper, namely, that " strong 

 wheats with good milUng qualities have been found to retain strength 

 and milling qualities both under canal irrigation on the alluvium 

 and also on the black soils of Peninsular India. In the future im- 

 provement of the wheats of these tracts, the question of grdin (juality 

 should receive particular attention. "
