Pooling together spot blotch resistance, high yield with earliness in wheat for eastern Gangetic Plains of South Asia

This study was done with an objective to attempt to pool together in wheat, the three most important traits (spot blotch resistance, high yield and earliness) for warm humid Eastern Gangetic plains (EGP) of South Asia. A Recombinant Inbred Line (RIL) population, developed from two contrasting parents (YS#58 × YS#24) for spot blotch resistance, was tested in seven environments falling under three locations of EGP. Most of the components of...
