 ABSTRACT

Drought is the major abiotic stress world widely thwart the crops growth and development year by year.  Every growth stage of wheat from vegetative to reproductive stages effect by the water scarcity. Keeping in the view present investigation was planned with four wheat genotype viz., AKAW-3717, C-306, DHTW-60 and KUNDAN with three replicas at the pot house of IAHM Jat college, Rohtak with complete randomized design. Drought application showed statistical significant reduction in crop phenological attributes, relative water content, peduncle reserve mobilization, biomass plant-1 (g), grain weight spike-1 (g), grain yield plant-1 (g) and Test Weight (g). Genotype DHTW-60 was found minimum in yield forfeit under both irrigated and non-irrigated condition. Therefore, it can be utilised for further study and cultivation in water scarcity areas.

Keywords: Drought, Peduncle reserve mobilization, Yield and relative water content.
