Comparison of yield and yield components of Faisalabad originated wheat varieties under coastal environment

Bread Wheat is the one most essential major agricultural grain crop which belongs to family Gramineae. The interaction between genotype and environment are badly effects grain production of bread wheat under rain fed and irrigated condition in central Asia environment. The results showed that maximum seed germination (84 %), (73 %); while maximum number of tillers (305 m -2 ), (276 m -2 ); number of productive spikes (288 m -2 ), (258 m -2 ); number of non-productive spikes (17 m -2 ), (18 m -2 ); plant height at maturity (50.4 cm), (58.5 cm); spike length (11.5 cm), (10.4 cm), number of spikelets spike -1 (14.9), (13.7); number of grains spike -1 (40.9), (37.2); 1000-grain weight (52.2 g), (49.4 g); grain yield (5.3 t ha -1 ), (4.7 t ha -1 ); peduncle length (22.2 cm), (28.8 cm); weight of straw (5.5 t ha -1 ), (4.9 t ha -1 ) were excellent in Ujala and Galaxy variety than Faisalabad 2008. However, the minimum seed germination (64 %), number of tillers (262 m -2 ), number of productive spikes (247 m -2 ), number of non-productive spikes (15 m -2 ), plant height at maturity (51.6 cm), spike length (9.8 cm), number of spikelets spike -1 (13.0), number of grains spike -1 (34.3), 1000-grain weight (49.0 g), grain yield (4.36 t ha -1 ), peduncle length (25.2 cm), weight of straw (4.39 t ha -1 ) was recorded in Faisalabad 2008. The present research elucidated that the Galaxy and Ujala wheat varieties performed better for future wheat growers at coastal environments than Faisalabad 2008.
