REVIEW ON SURVIVAL ANALYSIS OF THE WHEAT GERMINATION DATA

Abstract: In the present work, review of different types of wheat varieties, the study determined that farmers’ preference towards a variety was not only determined by itsyield but also by other traits of importance. The study has an implication in the farmer-oriented extension andresearch program for suggesting farmers the most suitable variety in the area. Focusing to the farmers’ preferred traits during the development and distribution of the wheat varieties would increase the likelihood of adoption of the varieties. The performance of the varieties released after semi dwarf wheat were introduced in India and various genetic stocks developed for different component traits was found below par across all the three years of evaluation. The varieties from warm and humid central areas of India, did not perform to their potential when grown in northwestern plains which experience high temperatures during grain filling. The environmental conditions and the quantitative nature of the chapati quality did not auger well with the set of genotypes tested however, better and stable performance of the tall traditional varieties. C 306 the wheat variety released in 1965 for cultivation has remained the best quality genotype over the years and was also established from this study. The present study provides an established base for further studies on understanding the basis of chapati making quality of wheat. The knowledge generated during this study can be utilized for developing wheat genotypes with excellent end use quality. The area and productivity was indicating stable growth in wheat crop in almost all the districts and divisions of Maharashtra state. Thus, it indicates that the wheat was cultivated traditionally in the region during rabi season. Hence, there is a scope to increase the production of wheat, especially in Maharashtra state by providing high yielding varieties and improved technology. A correlation was set up between biochemical parameters and sensory characters of chapatti quality and hence the overall quality of product. Depending on the quality measurements and sensory score, C306, HD2687, GW381, HW2004, PBW175 and WH912 were categorized into good chapatti varieties and HD2189, HUW598, NI5439, WH291, SONAK, and UAS410 were grouped into poor chapatti performance wheat varieties.
