A field experiment was conducted on 135 bread wheat genotype under timely sown, in order to determine the genetic variability, heritability, degree and direction of the association between grain yield and its attributing characters. The experimental findings indicated highly significant differences in genotypes for all 12 morphological traits taken under study. PCV was more than GCV for all the 12 characters. Correlation coefficients showed highly significant and positive association with number of grains per spike, tillers per plant, biological yield per plant, and 1000 seed-weight and harvest index. Direct impact on grain yield was shown by biological yield per plant, harvest index, peduncle length, and flag leaf area. However, other traits have a significant indirect effect on grain yield. According to this, choosing genotypes with higher yield would be more effective if selection were based on these traits.
