Abstract
A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive spring seasons of 2017 and 2018 at experimental farm of the Kabul University, to study effects of varieties on growth, yield components and yield of wheat under Agro-climate conditions of Kabul. The experimental was laid out in randomized complete block design with four treatment and three replications. Four local spring varieties i.e., V1-Zardana Baghlan,V2- Sorkha-Andarab, V3-Safida-Kunduz and V4- Safida-Andarab. Among the varieties Safida-Andarab (V4), produced shorter plant height but significantly higher number of tillers (416.67 and 425.33 m2), spikes (397.33 and 419.6), number of grains per spike (50.67 and 53.33), grains per spike length (3.00 and 3.00), test weight (40.33 and 41.33 g) and grain yield of (4.17 and 4.43 t/ha) of wheat, being at par with variety of Safida-Kunduz during both the consecutive years, respectively.
