Abstract

Wheat is the staple food for most of the population, contributing to 60% of the dietary energy intake. The changing climatic conditions effect wheat grain yield drastically. To cope with the situation an experiment planned to evaluate newly developed high yielding wheat genotypes in multiple environment to check the yield stability and best-suited environment. Ten wheat genotypes sown at twelve locations. The experiment conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The plot size was 5 m x 1.5 m during rabi season 2022-2023. Pooled (ANOVA) revealed significant variation in genotypes and environments. Maximum contribution in total variation was due to environments. AMMI and GGE Biplot indicated G5 was very sensitive and responsive across all the environments. CCRI Noshera found most suitable and best environment for wheat production. Genotypes G9 remained stable and high yielder across all environments
