Abstract

There is an increase in the world population greatly during the past decade. In order to support the growing population scientists are looking towards the high yielding varieties to provide for the world. As such field experiment entitled “Performance of Wheat genotypes under late sown conditions in Eastern region of Uttar Pradesh" was conducted during Rabi 2022 at Wheat Breeding Experimental Field, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with Eight genotypes which were replicated four times. The genotypes used in the experiment are NELS-201, NELS-202, NELS-203, NELS-204, NELS-205, NELS-206, NELS-207, NELS-208. The experiment results revealed that the Wheat genotype NELS-208 performed better than other hybrids viz. Plant height (103.19 cm), dry weight (22.46 g), number of tillers per hill (12.85), number of grains per spike (84.00), spike length (13.40 cm), test weight (40.73 g), grain yield (3.10 t/ha), straw yield (4.85 t/ha), Harvest index (38.99%) was recorded significantly higher compared to other genotypes.
