Abstract
The present study was undertaken with 30 wheat genotypes during Rabi 2014-15 in randomized block design having three replications at Field Experimentation Centre of Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Allahabad School of Agriculture, SHIATS to identify the suitable bread wheat genotypes and to assess the magnitude of genetic variability parameters for different quantitative traits in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Twelve traits were included in the study. Number of grains /spike, biological yield, harvest index, plant height and number of tillers moderate estimates for PCV & GCV. Number of grains /spike, flag leaf width, biological yield /plant and harvest index. High heritability along with high genetic advance as percent of mean was recorded for plant height and harvest index. Positive and highly significant correlation were obtained for biological yield /plant, harvest index, days to (50%) flowering and number of grains /spike with grain yield at both genotypic as well as phenotypic levels. Flag leaf length, flag leaf width, days to maturity, number of tillers, biological yield /plant and test weight (1000 grain) had positive direct effect on seed yield per plant. These traits should be given emphasis for future bread wheat yield improvement program through selection breeding.
