Abstract
The wheat genotype, HD 2967 is a popular wheat variety both in North West Plain Zone and North East Plain Zone due to its high yield potential, disease resistance and grain quality parameters. It has been proposed to study the yield attributing traits associated with this genotype. HD 2967 has 98 days of heading, 143 days of maturity, 102 cm plant height, 105 productive tillers per meter along with a 1000-grain weight of 36g. HD 2967 was found superior, for traits like stomatal conductance (gs) and water use efficiency (WUE). The Assimilation rate (A) was also significantly higher than other genotypes. Traits associated with sink strength, like number of tillers, grain filling percentage per spike (91.7%), grain number per spike (59) and grain weight per spike (2.22) were also found at par with other high yielding varieties.
