Abstract

Wheat breeding mainly deals with the creation of variation through crossing; selection from consequent generation based on the traits of interest; and phenotypically fixation of traits to develop noble varieties for the farmers. The research center objectively doing, to improve the livelihood of the farmers through delivering high yield, disease resistance, and good quality bread wheat varieties with sufficient quality foundation seeds. The National Wheat Research Program introduced 28^th Semi-Arid Wheat Yield Trial (28^th SAWYT) along with other trials from CIMMYT Mexico. The introduced trial SAWYT had forty-nine genotypes and one empty room for the local check. A local check Kingbird added to the forty-nine genotypes, a total of 50 genotypes planted as SAWYT. The trial was conducted in Alpha Lattice design with two replications. The experiment was carried out at two locations: Kulumsa Agricultural Research Center (KARC) and Melkasa Agricultural Research Center (MARC). Date of Heading (DTH), Date of Maturity (DTM), Plant Height (PHT), and Disease data collected on the field on time. Thousand kernel weight (TKW), Hectoliter weight (HLW), and Grain Yield (GYLD) taken in the laboratory after harvest. Only two genotypes were significantly different at (p < 0.05) from the check variety kingbird for grain yield. Compared to the check, Kingbird, thirty-four genotypes showed better resistance to yellow rust disease (Table 2). Eleven genotypes exhibited better resistance for stem rust than Kingbird (Table 2). Moreover, EBW212106, EBW213073, EBW213074, EBW213077, EBW212110, EBW213087, EBW213106, and EBW213107 revealed resistance for both of wheat rusts than Kingbird. Testing genotype in the right environment enables the breeders to develop and release best bread wheat varieties for the farmers.
