YIELD PERFORMANCE OF WHEAT GENOTYPES IN DIFFERENT SALINE ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

                                Ten promising wheat genotypes were evaluated for their stability for grain yield in three different saline environments. The genotype x environment interaction was non significant for grain yield. In general, the crop performed better under low to medium saline environments. The genotypes, DWR-39, DWR-162 and Raj-1972 were found to be stable with high mean yield and average responses to the changes in the environmental conditions. Hence their exploitation in breeding programme will help in improving the productivity of the crop.

Key words : Wheat, Stability, Genotype x Environment interaction.
