Abstract:
Wheat grains a source of our daily food were obtained from the different ecological regions of Pakistan. These fifteen varieties namely Fakhr-e-Sarhad, Bakhtawar-92, Chudry-97, Gandam-2002, Wafaq-01, Bhakkar-01, Inqilab-91, Tatara, Ghaznawy, Saleem-2000, Watan, Oqab, Tuf, Zakht and Gandam-711 were evaluated for their physicochemical characteristics and minerals contents. Six of these varieties, Fakhr-e-Sarhad, Oqab, Tuf, Zakht, Watan and Inqilab-91 growing in the same ecological conditions in district Chitral were selected in order to show the effect of same ecological conditions on the overall productivity of wheat varieties in term of physicochemical and minerals contents. Results reveal that same variety growing in district Chitral shows good productivity than the rest of varieties growing in different ecological conditions.
