Kharchia 65 is a derived cultivar of Kharchia Local developed through back [[cross breed]]ing with a rust-resistant type. In India most of the improved salinity-resistant varieties have been developed using Kharchia 65 as a base, and it is used as a standard for the salt tolerance test of wheat worldwide. Yield of about 10-20 Q/ha. have been reported for Kharchia, irrigated with waters having less than 10 mmhos/cm (=6400 ppm or 6400 mg/l approx).
