The invention discloses a method for quickly identifying the drought resistance of wheat by using the green recovering rate of leaves. Drought stress treatment is performed in a three-leaf period of wheat, the time from dryness to green recovering of the leaves and the ratio of the leaves which recover green are detected after rehydration, and the drought resistance of the wheat can be identifiedquickly through comparison and rating; the result of drought resistance identification is in good accordance with the result of a method for identifying drought resistance indexes. The method has theadvantages of rapidity, high efficiency, low cost, easy operation and the like, field water management of farmers can be guided during production, and through the cooperation with other drought resistance identifying methods in scientific researches, excellent drought-resistant genetic resources can be selected quickly in a batch of materials.
