Wheat is predominatly grown under rainfed conditions in the subtropics where the crop growth mostly depends on stored soil moisture content. As the evaporative loss of soil moisture exceeds rainfall for several months, wheat crop suffers from moisture stress at reproductive stage. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of water stress at reproductive stage on grain growth pattern and yield responses of wheat. Variety Kanchan was grown under well-watered conditions in two large plots (4m x 5m). At heading, one plot was subjected to water stress (1/3rd moisture at field capacity), and the other one received regular irrigation.
