      Аннотация: A field experiment was carried out at Agrometeorology Research Farm, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad (U.P.) during Rabi season 2016-17 to study the “Influence of moisture regimes on growth and yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivars”. The experiment consisted of 9 treatment combinations and tested in Rendomized block design with three replications. Experiment consisted of three moisture regimes viz. 0.8 IW/CPE ratio, 1.0 IW/CPE ratio and 1.2 IW/CPE ratio and three wheat cultivars Viz. HUW-234, PBW-343 and NW-1012. Moisture regimes of 0.8 IW/CPE ratio was found suitable for higher growth and yield of wheat crop. Wheat cultivar PBW-343 was found suitable for optimum growth and yield of wheat. Highest Consumptive use (67.7 cm) was found in moisture regime of 1.2 IW/CPE ratios and highest water use efficiency (81kg ha-1 cm-1) was computed under 0.8 IW/CPE ratio. Among wheat cultivars highest water use efficiency of 74 kg ha-1 cm-1 was computed in PBW-343 cultivar of wheat.
