Abstract
The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy field, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University
(SAU), Dhaka, during the period from November 2010 to March 2011 to study the “Performance
of some wheat genotypes at AEZ 28”. The experiment consisted of 15 treatments (genotypes of
wheat). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block design with 3
replications. The 15 genotypes of wheat were BAW1059; BAW1064; CVD5 (BAW1111);
CVD6 (BAW1114); AYT5 (BAW1135); AYT7 (BAW1137); AYT9 (BAW1139); AYT10
(BAW1140); AYT11 (BAW1141); BL3503; Bijoy; Prodip; Sourav; Shatabdi and Sufi. Manures
and fertilizers were applied at recommended doses of wheat. Results showed that the highest
plant height (103.40 cm) and maximum number of tillers plant
-1
(9.00) were obtained with
AYT9, BAW1139 and Sourav at harvest respectively. The highest dry weight plant
(35.72 g),
number of spike plant
-1
(9.04), spike length (17.68 cm), number of spikelet spike
(19.91) and
number of grains spike
-1
(56.83), 1000- grain weight (46.49 g), grain yield (4.29 t ha
), stover
yield (6.64 t ha
-1
) and biological yield (10.90 t ha
-1
) were obtained from Shatabdi. But the highest
harvest index (43.64) was observed in BL3503.
