Abstract
In the present investigation, twenty genotypes of bread wheat (Triticuma estivum L.) were evaluated to examine the presence of genetic variability which may further be utilized in breeding programmes. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications at the experimental field of Himgiri Zee University, Dehradun during 2019 - 2020. Analysis of variance revealed that genotypes possessed significant genetic variability among all traits.It was observed that HUW-251 (recorded the highest value 67.33 g) where as HUW-213 exhibited the lowest value (48.00 g) for grain yield per plant.The highest estimates of genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were observed for spike weight(g) (19.97, 19.98) respectively, followed by flag leaf area (15.64) and spikelets per spike (14.49, 14.59).High heritability (h2) associated with high genetic advance as percent of mean (GAM) were observed for grain yield, test weight, grains per spike, spikelets per spike, spike weight, spike length, peduncle length and flag leaf area.
