HUERTA ESPINO, Julio et al. Monarca F2007: new bread wheat cultivar for El Bajío, northern and northwest of Mexico. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2011, vol.2, n.6, pp.1001-1007. ISSN 2007-0934.

Monarca F2007 was developed by the collaborative program of wheat improvement of the INIFAP and CIMMYT. This cultivar was evaluated in the national assay of irrigated wheat (ENTRI) from 2004-2005 to 2007-2008 in 11 States and 84 different trials. This cultivar is of spring-growth habit, semi-dwarf with 99 cm high and 128 days to maturity. It produced 12% more yield than Bárcenas S2002 and Kronstad F2003 and, on average, outperformed other control varieties in the producing regions of The Bajío, North-West and North of the country. Monarca F2007 is resistant to leaf rust and moderately resistant to moderately susceptible to yellow rust. Its protein content in whole-meal flour is 12% and in white flour is 11%, with test weight of 77 kg hL-¹, a gluten strength of 570*10-⁴ J and is classified as a cultivar with balanced strong gluten. It is recommended for wheat areas of El Bajío, the North and Northwest Mexico, under planting conditions of regular and limited irrigation.
