A field experiment was laid out at Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Gwalior, during Rabi season (2014-15) to study of performance of wheat varieties under various fertility levels. The experiment was conducted in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. The wheat crop was sown on November 21, 2014. Significant higher grain yield was recorded MP 4010 (4520 kg/ha). Application of 75% RDF + 5 tonnes FYM /ha had significant effect on higher grain yield than other levels of fertility. The yield contributing components like number of effective tillers per plant, Ear length, No. of grains, Test weight, Protein yield were significantly higher under 75% RDF + 5 tonnes FYM /ha fertility levels. Harvest index and straw yield were not influenced significantly due to fertility levels and varieties. Thus it may be concluded that fertility levels of 75% RDF + 5 tonnes FYM /ha proved as the most suitable practice for exploitation of the yield potential of wheat. The variety MP 4010 was found most suitable for achieving higher yield of wheat.
