The purpose of the research is to obtain strains/varieties of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that has high production in Tanah Karo highlands. This research was conducted in the village of Kutagadung, sub district of Berastagi, regency of Karo, North Sumatra Province located at ± 1390 meters altitude above the sea level, from March to June 2012. This research used a randomized block design (RBD) with 10 lines and two varieties of wheat. The experiment results showed that strains/varieties has significant different to plant height, number of productive sapling, length of malai, age of flowering, age of harvest, number of spikelet per plant, number of seed per plant, seed weight per plant, 1000 seed weight and production. The line that has good production is strain G-21 (1.03 kg/m2) that was not significantly different from H-21, Basribey, LAJ3302/2*MO88, Menemen strain and Dewata variety, and strains/varieties of wheat that has less production is strain HP1744 (0.67 kg/m2) that was not significantly different from OASIS/SKAUZ//4*BCN, G-18, Rabe/2*MO88, Alibey strain and Selayar variety. Keywords: lines, variety, Triticum aestivum L.
