To achieve high yielding, diseases resistant and adapted wheat varieties comparing to grown wheat cultivars, this experiment was carried out in four research stations of moderate zone in 2018/2019 cropping season. One hundred and thirty-three (133) lines and varieties of wheat along with four check cultivars (Rakhshan, Baharan,Parsi and Sirvan) were planted and compared in systematic design with no replication. These materials have been forwarded by selecting stations in temperate zone and International nurseries as well. During the cropping cycle besides, field management practices, the following notes were taken: Days to heading (DHE), Plant Height (PLH), 1000 kernel weight (TKW) lodging%, reaction to diseases (Yr) under natural condition, shattering and Days to maturity (DMA). After harvesting, grains of each plot were weighed separately, and collected data were analyzed. Based on non-parametric method of ranking (R and SDR), comparing the yield of the entries to checks, favorite morphological characters, Yield Index Ratio (YIR%), and reaction to diseases, thirty-two superior lines were selected to be evaluated/ studied in advanced yield trials (ARWYT) for moderate areas in next crop season.Key words: Preliminary yield trial, bread wheat, temperate zone
