Description:
The cultivar ‘Nachit’ is the result of a cross-carried out of the ICARDA gene bank team, which involved the elite line ‘Amedakul 1’ known for its wide adaptation, and a Triticum dicoccoides accession collected from Syria, known for its large grain size. The resulting F1 progenies were top-crossed to a second elite line ‘Loukos’, known for its top yield potential. The final pedigree is then: Amedakul 1/Triticum dicoccoides Syrian collection/Loukos.
