The present study was planned to ascertain the effect of different fertility levels and varieties on growth, yield and quality of wheat at the students instructional farm, department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, AKS University, Sherganj, Satna (M.P.) during rabi. season of 2020-21. In this experiment, 12 treatment combinations including four fertility levels and three varieties were involved and combination were F₀- NPK @ 00: 00: 00 kg/ha, F₁- NPK @ 100: 40: 20 kg/ha, F₂- NPK @ 120: 60: 40 kg/ha and F₃- NPK @ 140: 80: 60 kg/ha, while three wheat varieties were tested are V₁- GW 322, V₂- GW 366 and V₃- MP 1132. Higher plant height and number of tillers per meter row length at harvesting stage (88.15 cm and 77.33, respectively) was recorded in plots treated with NPK @ 140: 80: 60 kg/ha with wheat variety GW- 322. beside maximum number length of spike (9.59 cm), number of grains/spike (38.73), test weight (41.42 g), grain and Stover yield (50.03 and 69.26 q/ha, respectively) were  recorded under same treatment combination of NPK @ 140: 80: 60 kg/ha with wheat variety GW- 322. Further this combination of treatment was proved to be effective and hence this was concluded for production of wheat crop.
