Abstract
Development of superior crop varieties is the prime objectives of all plant breeding programs. Fourteen bread wheat lines selected from 20 th Semi Arid Wheat Yield Trials received from CIMMYT-Mexico. The experiment was planted in randomized complete block design with three replications at Barani Agricultural Research Station, Kohat during 2013-14. Data were recorded on days to heading, days to maturity, plant height, tillers m -2 and grain yield. Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among genotypes for all the traits studied. Seven entries viz. E-304 (4033 kg ha -1 ), E-311 (4844 kg ha -1 ), E-314 (4222 kg ha -1 ), E-325 (3889 kg ha 1 ), E-360 (4456 kg ha -1 ), E-384 (4533 kg ha -1 ) and E-388 (4300 kg ha -1 ) out yielded check cultivar KT-2010 (1455 kg ha -1 ) and will forwarded for multi-location testing to be released as
Highlights
MATERIALS AND METHODSWheat is the major food grain crop of the world and is the staple food of millions people around the globe
In Pakistan, wheat is grown cultivated under rainfed condition is more than 20% of the total wheat area mainly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Development of resistant variety better suited to rainfed/stress condition is the prime objective of many wheat breeding program across the globe
Summary
MATERIALS AND METHODSWheat is the major food grain crop of the world and is the staple food of millions people around the globe. Development of resistant variety better suited to rainfed/stress condition is the prime objective of many wheat breeding program across the globe. The present study was undertaken to select early maturing, high yielding and disease resistant wheat line for rainfed areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
