The regional test of two introduced wheatgrass cultivars, Agropyron desertorm cv. Тауумский and A. cristatum cv. Aксенгерский from Kazakhstan, was conducted under the rain feed condition in Nanshan of Urumqi and Yili Valley of Xinjiang from 2004 to 2007 and A. mongolicum cv. Neimeng was used as the check. The biological characteristics, stress resistance and economic characters were measured. The results indicated that two introduced cultivars were better than the check.
