This study examined correlation of canopy temperature depression (CTD) below air temperature and flag leaf chlorophyll content (CHL-C.) with grain yield and its components of spring wheat varieties to terminal heat stress at two sowing dates (20 Nov. and 20 Jan.) under Ahwaz climatic condition. CTD and (CHL_C.) measured at two growth stages (1- anthesis, 2- milk stages) with hand held infra-red thermometer (IRT) and chlorophyll-meter respectively. Morphological traits grain yield and its components were also measured. Results indicted that CTD was 7.1-10.5 ؛C for spring wheat varieties in Ahwaz climatic condition, and had also positive significant correlation with grain yield, biomass and seed No.per m². Flag leaf chlorophyll content measured at milk stage had positive significant correlation with grain yield. It is concluded that CTD and CHL.-C. should be further investigated as potential indirect selection criteria for grain yield under Ahwaz climatic condition and the same conditions.
