Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2020-21 at the Student’s Instructional Farm of Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur U.P. India., The objectives were to screen out the new wheat varieties suitable for late sown condition, to find out the nutritive status and yield potentiality of varieties sown under late sown condition, and to find out the economics. The eight varieties (V1K307, V2 K9107, V3 KD9851, V4 K7903, V5 K1006, V6 K1317, V7 K8434, & V8 K 424) were tested in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Result showed that wheat variety V5 (K1006) gave significantly the highest grain yield (52.50 q/ha) and net income (Rs. 96988/ha) in comparison to all other varieties. The minimum grain yield (27.80 q/ha) and net income (Rs.34005/ha) was recorded for the variety V6 (K1317).
