Current research was conducted with the objectives to identify the utmost traits that may be beneficial for
the higher productivity of the grains under stress environment. Research material consisted of thirteen genotypes
which were obtained from different sources. Experiment was carried out in randomized complete block in a split
plot design. Water regimes (irrigated and non-irrigated) were allocated to the main plots and genotypes to the
subplots. Path coefficient could be used as an important tool to bring about appropriate cause and effects
relationship between yield and yield components. According to obtained results the selection on the basis of number
of spikes, number of spikelet’s and number of grains in this material would likely to be most useful for increasing
grain yield because of their direct positive contribution to grain yield under irrigated condition. However number of
spikes, spikelet numbers, spike length and grains number may be used an effective selection criterion for increasing
grain yield of wheat under different irrigation levels. Therefore it is concluded that these traits could be selected for
the different stress environments and it would be beneficial for the yield.
