In a field experiment at Baghlan university, Afghanistan conducted during winter 2021 the effect of three sowing dates February 22, March 8 and 23 March on three wheat cultivars Chont#1, Kabul-013 and Muqawim 09 was studied. Sowing dates and varieties both significantly affected the number of fertile tillers m-2, plant height, and number of spikelets per spike, 1000 grains weight and grain yield. In case of sowing dates significantly maximum grain yield (4289.54 kg ha-1) was obtained when crop was sown on 22nd February against the minimum grain yield (2109.50 kg ha-1) in case of late sowing i.e. 23rd March. Among of varieties Chont#1 gave significantly maximum yield (3550.44 kg ha-1) while minimum yield (2932.59 kg ha-1) was obtained by Muqawim 09.
