Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted during winter season of 2017-18 on sandy loam soils of Poz-e-Ishan Research Farm of Agricultural Faculty of Baghlan University, to study the response of 11 different wheat varieties to water stress condition of Baghlan province. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block design with three replications and eleven treatments. among all varieties SHARORA//INQALAB 91*2/TUKURU has taken more number of days to 70% heading ( 135 days), longer days for 70% anthesis (141.33) and longer period (165 days) to maturity compared to all other varieties. Similarly, SHARORA/INQALAB 91*2/TUKURU produced significantly taller plant height (111.33), more number of effective tillers (4.97/
plant) at maturity and longer spike length (10.50 cm), heavier test weight (40.24 g) with significantly highest grain yield (4080 kg/ha) and straw yield (6587 kg/ha) over all other treatments.
