Development of superior crop varieties is the prime objectives of all plant breeding programs. Fourteen bread wheat lines selected from 20th Semi Arid Wheat Yield Trials received from CIMMYT-Mexico. The experiment was planted in randomized complete block design with three replications at Barani Agricultural Research Station, Kohat during 2013-14. Data were recorded on days to heading, days to maturity, plant height, tillers m-2 and grain yield. Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among genotypes for all the traits studied. Seven entries viz. E-304 (4033 kg ha-1), E-311 (4844 kg ha-1), E-314 (4222 kg ha-1), E-325 (3889 kg ha-1), E-360 (4456 kg ha-1), E-384 (4533 kg ha-1) and E-388 (4300 kg ha-1) out yielded check cultivar KT-2010 (1455 kg ha-1) and will forwarded for multi-location testing to be released as new variety for rainfed areas.
