Wheat plays a major role in food security and nutritional needs of people across the globe. Management considerations play an imperious role in the final yield and quality. The cultivars differed significantly in terms of growth and yield. Therefore, cultivars should be properly select in order to get good quality and better yield. Therefore, this study was planned to screen out best cultivars for their yield potential and quality under Faisalabad conditions. The experiment was comprised of eight wheat cultivars, i.e. Galaxy-2013, Ujala-2015, Inqlab-2000, SH-2002, Punjab-2011, Millet-2011, Faisalabad-2008 and Lasani-2008. The results revealed that all wheat cultivars have differential response for growth, yield and quality. The wheat cultivar Galaxy-2013, produced the maximum productive tillers (298 m-2), spike length (13.20 cm) grains/spike (40.06), 1000-grain weight (47.30 g), biological yield (14.83 t ha-1), grain yield (5.40 t ha-1), grain protein contents (12.54 %) and grain fiber contents (4.15 %) followed by Ujala-2015 and Punjab-2011 and Fsd-2008, however, cultivar, SH-2002 and Auqab-2000 performed poorly in terms of yield and quality. These results suggested that wheat cultivars i.e. Galaxy-2013, Ujala-2015, Punjab-2011 can grow successfully under Faisalabad conditions for getting good yield and quality. Moreover, these cultivars can also be used in future breeding programs for development of high yielding varieties with good quality for semi-arid regions.
