Agronomic performance of some alien bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) lines under agro-ecological conditions of Sakrand, Pakistan

Variation in plant traits is considered as drivers of species evolution and of a greatest importance to plant breeders. The selection of the exotic wheat cultivars for high yield and their resistance to rust disease is of prime importance nowadays, which in result reduces the environmental impact and the total cost of lethal fungicides. Present study keeping the importance in view was carried to evaluate seven exotic wheat genotypes received from CIMMYT, Mexico; which were then compared to two local wheat cultivars (control). Significant (p
