Wheat production in Pakistan can be divided into three distinct
periods: 1947-65, 1966-76 & 1976- todate. Wheat production
increased by 647% from 1948 to 2006 whereas area increased by 210%
in this period. Wheat worth of Rs. 220 b is produced year-1, where
in one percent gain/loss in wheat production would be equal to Rs.
2.20 b. During the last 11 years (1999-2009), production varied
from 18.223 to 23.40 m t with average yield of 2262 to 2585 Kg ha-
1. Wheat production is prime objective in agri. policies;
contributes 13.8% to the value added products in agri.& 3.2% to
the GDP. The wheat in arid zones often suffers a serious moisture
stress throughout its life cycle. Wheat yield improvement in the
rainfed areas would be the basis for eliminating hunger and to cope
with demands of population and indirectly upgrade the
socio-economic status of the farming community. The book in hand
provides baseline information on stability, adaptability and
genetic gain in wheat. It can furnish useful guide line for wheat
breeders, policy makers, agricultural graduates and should be in
every agriculture library.
