Bread Wheat is the one most essential major agricultural grain crop which belongs to family Gramineae. The interaction between genotype and environment are badly effects grain production of bread wheat under rain fed and irrigated condition in central Asia environment. The results showed that maximum seed germination (84 %), (73 %); while maximum number of tillers (305 m-2), (276 m-2); number of productive spikes (288 m-2), (258 m-2); number of non-productive spikes (17 m-2), (18 m-2); plant height at maturity (50.4 cm), (58.5 cm); spike length (11.5 cm), (10.4 cm), number of spikelets spike-1 (14.9), (13.7); number of grains spike-1 (40.9), (37.2); 1000-grain weight (52.2 g), (49.4 g); grain yield (5.3 t ha-1), (4.7 t ha-1); peduncle length (22.2 cm), (28.8 cm); weight of straw (5.5 t ha-1), (4.9 t ha-1) were excellent in Ujala and Galaxy variety than Faisalabad 2008. However, the minimum seed germination (64 %), number of tillers (262 m-2), number of productive spikes (247 m-2), number of non-productive spikes (15 m-2), plant height at maturity (51.6 cm), spike length (9.8 cm), number of spikelets spike-1 (13.0), number of grains spike-1 (34.3), 1000-grain weight (49.0 g), grain yield (4.36 t ha-1), peduncle length (25.2 cm), weight of straw (4.39 t ha-1) was recorded in Faisalabad 2008. The present research elucidated that the Galaxy and Ujala wheat varieties performed better for future wheat growers at coastal environments than Faisalabad 2008.

To compare the yield and yield components of Faisalabad-originated wheat varieties under coastal environmental conditions.
A field experiment was conducted using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. Three wheat varieties (Galaxy, Faisalabad 2008, and Ujala) were tested at Lasbela University of Agriculture, Water and Marine Sciences, Balochistan, Pakistan during the 2017-18 cropping season. Various growth and yield parameters were measured, including germination rate, number of tillers, spike characteristics, plant height, grain weight, and straw weight. Soil samples were analyzed for physical and chemical properties.

The study highlights the influence of genotype and environment interaction on wheat yield. The Ujala variety demonstrated superior performance under the coastal conditions of Lasbela, suggesting its suitability for this environment. The results are consistent with other studies showing the importance of selecting appropriate wheat varieties for specific environmental conditions to maximize yield.
The Ujala variety generally performed better than Galaxy and Faisalabad 2008 in most yield components, including seed germination, number of tillers, productive spikes, grain yield, and straw weight. Galaxy showed the highest plant height and peduncle length. Faisalabad 2008 generally had the lowest values for most yield components.
The Ujala and Galaxy wheat varieties are promising for cultivation in the coastal environment of Lasbela, Balochistan, due to their superior grain and straw yield compared to the Faisalabad 2008 variety.
