The field research was conducted at the Bhairahawa, Nepal in 2016/17 and 2017/18 in order to determine the physio-morphological and yield potential traits associated with heat and drought tolerance in wheat genotypes. The plant material consists of 20 genotypes out of which 17 were advanced lines and 3 were commercial varieties of Nepal. The research was carried out in alpha lattice design with two replications under three different environmental condition i.e. fully-irrigated, late sown and drought condition. In each replication there were 5 blocks consisting of 4 plots. Each plot was 4 m in length and 2.5 m in width. Each plot consists of 10 rows with a spacing of 25 cm between the rows and there was continuous sowing in a row. Seed sowing on Irrigated and Drought condition was done in 23rd November 2016 and 2017, similarly, seed sowing on Heat stress environment was done.. View More»
