To study the effect of IAA on different wheat varieties, an experiment was conducted at Malakandher Research Farm of NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar during winter 1996-97 in a triplicated randomized complete block design with split plot arrangement. Thirty entries of diverse origin were planted in the experiment and at tillering stage 10-5 molar concentration of IAA was sprayed on half of the main plots at random. Application of 10-5 molar concentration of IAA increased plant height by 3.8 cm, spikes/m2 by 2, grain yield by 492 kg/ha and biological yield by 2183 kg/ha. Maximum plant height (108 cm) was noted in the sprayed plot of Triticales. Maximum number of 150 spikes/m2 were produced in sprayed plots of PR-59. Maximum biological and grain yield was produced by Inqilab-91.
