Abstract: An experiment was conducted at Cereals Crops Research Institute Pirsabak Nowhere on ‘Impact of various levels of phosphorus on Wheat (cv. PIRSABAK-2103) during winter 2014-15. The experiment consisted of single factor i.e. phosphorus levels 0, 45, 60, 75 and 90 kg ha-1. The experiment was carried out in simple randomized complete block (RCB) design, having three replications. Sub plot size was 5m x 1.8m. Row to row distance was kept as 30 cm. Agronomical treatments were kept the same for all the plots. Leaf area tiller-1, days to heading, days to physiological maturity, plant height, spikes m-2, spike length, grains spike-1, thousands grains weight, biological yield and grain yield were significantly (p≤0.05) affected by various levels of phosphorus. Maximum weight of thousand grains (41.8g) was recorded from plots applied with 75 kg P2O5 ha-1 while the plots that received phosphorus at the rate of 90 kg ha-1 produced maximum leaf area tiller-1 (128.3 cm2), days to heading (129), days to physiological maturity (166), plant height (92.6 cm), number of spikes meter-2 (363), spike length (11.8 cm), number of grains spike-1 (45), biological yield (13056 kg ha-1) and grain yield (3991 kg ha-1). It is concluded that phosphorus application at 90 kg ha-1 showed best performance
