New wheat varieties promise higher yields in challenging soil conditions!
A study on wheat genotypes grown in sodic soil found high genetic variability and heritability for traits like flag leaf area, tillers per plant, and grain yield. This suggests that these traits can be improved through breeding programs. The researchers observed significant differences in traits between timely and late sown conditions, with some traits showing higher variability than others. Overall, the study indicates that there is potential for genetic improvement in wheat yield and its contributing traits under different growing conditions.
