Genetic Studies on Stripe and Leaf Rusts of Bread Wheat Under Different Sowing Dates

Abstract

The present experiment was conducted at Sakha Agric. Res. Stn. during 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 wheat growing seasons to estimate the combining ability, type of gene action, heterosis and simple correlation coefficient for some agronomic characters and reaction to wheat stripe and leaf rusts using a diallel cross mating design of eight wheat parental genotypes. These genotypes are P1
