Abstract
A field experiment was carried out during Rabi season, 2021 at Wheat Breeding experimental Field, Naini Agricultural institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design and nine genotypes were replicated fourfold. Study revealed that the genotype G2 i.e., NETS-102 recorded significantly higher plant height (112.02 cm), number of tillers/hill (7.7/hill), plant dry weight (31.41 g/hill), length of the spike (12.79 cm), number of grains per spike (63.41/spike), grain yield (4.26 t/ha) and Straw yield (6.04 t/ha). It was evident that the performance of genotype NETS-102 was proved to be viable and productive.
