Abstract
The experiment was conducted in Rabi 2014-15 at the Field Experimentation Centre of the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, SHIATS, Allahabad in randomized block design with three replications to obtain information among 30 genotypes of wheat. Analysis of variance revealed that there were significant differences among genotypes. On the basis of per se performances for grain yield per plant, genotype SHBW-112, SHBW -107, SHBW -104 and SHBW -125 were found promising as they showed high value for grain yield and its components of wheat. High genotypic and phenotypic variance was observed for plant height followed by Harvest Index. Maximum genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV), phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and heritability was exhibited by grain weight per spike followed by total yield per plant and harvest Index. High heritability combined with high genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for grain weight per spike followed by harvest index and total yield per plant.
