In this study the parent lines carrying the lys 3a gene for high lysine, the parent variety, Bomi and the local check, Quantum were evaluated for biologic and plot grain yield harvest index, 1000-grain weight, number of kernels per spike and number of fertile spike in low-and highrainfall environments. According to the obtained results, Ca 533605 line outyielded the check variety in the locrainfall environmet was good at yielding as good as the check cultivar, Quantum.
