An equitable water supply is pre-requisite under limited water availability. The varying irrigations have diverse impact on growth behavior of wheat crop (Triticum aestivum L.) under site specific environments. A research was conducted in the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan in the student sector to compare the output of the wheat lines under various irrigation regimes in 2018-2019. Five wheat lines (V1=9496, V2=ZA-10, V3=Galaxy-2013, V4=ZA-6, V5=9493), were tested against various irrigations (2, 3 and 4 irrigations) in their growth period. Treatments were organized in randomized complete block design (RCBD) in factorial arrangement. Data was analyzed using LSD test with 5% probability. Analysis of genotypes under different irrigations revealed that, the wheat line ZA-6 has better growth performance and highest yield than others under three irrigations. Moreover, this line showed highest economic benefits (Rs. 63892) than all other genotypes when supplied with three irrigations. In conclusion ZA-6 was the potential line of wheat under Faisalabad conditions and can be recommended to farmers for cultivation with three irrigations.
