Abstract This study was undertaken to assess farmers' use of different wheat varieties in two major growing environments of Baluchistan. Overall, farmers planted wheat on 39% of their cultivated area. Overall, 41 percent of the average cultivated area of the sample farmers was under recommended varieties. However, the share of under recommended varieties was much higher in Jafarabad district (Indus plains) than in Kalat district (upland). The above results call for strengthening the research and extension in introducing and convincing the Kalat farmers to grow recommended wheat varieties. This will be helpful to increase farmers' income from their main crop. The study also suggests the need for more detailed diagnostic analysis of farmers' circumstances and research and extension needs in both districts.
