Abstract: 85 new wheat selections were assessed and compared with the three standard local checks based on the combined analysis in five preliminary wheat yield trials. The combined analysis has the advantage by improving the selection efficiency of the new genotypes tested in different yield trials conducted in the same year and location. Seven out of the total selections tested out yielded the standard check varieties after making the adjustments in the treatment means. This analysis gave an equal chance to the new selections tested in the different trials which otherwise may have been overlooked.
