Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to find out growth and yield of nine wheat genotypes in the Rabi 2020-2021 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 6.7). Experiment consists of nine genotypes NETS-101, NETS-102, NETS-103, NETS-104, NETS-104, NETS-105, NETS-106, NETS-106, NETS-107, NETS-108 and NETS-109 which are replicated four times in Randomized Block Design whose evaluation was recorded. The results showed that growth parameters viz, higher plant height (110.15 cm), number of effective tillers/hill (11.65), dry weight (60.83 g) and and yield attributing parameters viz, number of effective tillers (7.55), spike length (10.75 cm), number of grains/spike (41.77) test weight (39.53 g) and yield parameters viz, grain yield (4.30 t/ha), straw yield (6.73 t/ha) were recorded significantly higher with NETS-105 genotype. Physiological observations viz, days to 50% flowering (99%) and days to maturity (127) was recorded higher with NETS-105 among all the genotypes. From the above findings gross return (98,900 INR/ha), net return (68,281 INR/ha) and Benefit cost ratio (2.22) with NETS-105 genotype was found to be more potential as well as economically viable and productive over rest of the genotypes.
