Perfomance of Varieties on Growth and Yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Under Prayagraj Condition

A field experiment was conducted to find out growth and yield of ten wheat varieties in the Rabi 2021-2022 at Wheat Breeding experimental Field, Naini Agriculture Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.). Soil of experimental plots was sandy loam in texture with neutral soil reaction (pH 7.1). Experiment consists of ten varieties HD-3440, HD-3406, HD-2967, HD-3411, HD-3437, DBW-187, HD-3436, HD-3249, HD-2733, HD-3086 which are replicated four times in Randomized Block Design and evaluation was recorded. The results showed that growth parameters viz., higher plant height (118.73 cm), number of effective tillers/hill (13.63), dry weight (43.00 g) and yield attributing parameters viz., spike length (14.12 cm), no. of grains/spike (100.50), test weight (39.53 g), grain yield (4.21 t/ha), straw yield (6.26 t/ha), harvest index (40.10 %), were recorded significantly higher in DBW-187 variety. where DBW-187 variety was found to be more potential, viable and productive over rest of the varieties.
