The productivity of ten wheat parent genotypes and their F₂ hybrids grown at B.R.D.P.G. College Agricultural Farms throughout the 2019–2020, 2020–2021, and 2021–2022 rabi seasons was assessed in this study. The influence of hybridization on genetic improvement was demonstrated by the notable heterosis and inbreeding depression found across important agronomic and qualitative characters Protein (%) in over better parent’s crosses. Plant height, effective tillers per plant, spike length, and grain yield characteristics all showed notable heterotic impacts; AAIDU WL-10 × AAIDU WL-4 showed the greatest grain yield per plant heterosis (28.68%) Hybridization greatly increased the protein content, a crucial component of wheat quality; the greatest values of protein were found in AAIDU WL-12 × AAIDUWL-10 (47.99 mg/g) and AAIDU WL-12 × AAIDU WL-4 (47.74 mg/g). The assessment of F₂ hybrids yielded further information on the inheritance of desired characteristics and genetic stability, and the results highlight the contribution of hybrid breeding to improving nutritional quality and productivity, providing a solid basis for wheat development initiatives. High-yielding, nutritionally better wheat cultivars are developed as a result of the observed heterosis and inbreeding depression patterns, supporting sustainable farming methods and global food security.
