224 Journal of Plant Registrations, Vol 2, No. 3, September 2008 ‘Faller’ (Reg. No. CV-1026, PI 648350) hard red spring wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) was tested as experimental line ND805, developed at North Dakota State University (NDSU), and released by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (NDAES). In addition to researchers at NDSU, USDA-ARS researchers at Fargo, ND, contri...

Accurate sensor-based prediction of crop yield and grain quality in-season would enable growers to adjust nitrogen (N) fertilizer management for optimized production. This study assessed the feasibility (and compared accuracy) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield, N uptake, protein content with spectral reflectance measurements (Normalized Difference Vegetative Index, NDVI) obtained a handheld Gr...

This study investigated the formation and plant uptake of lipophilic metal-rhamnolipid complexes. Monorhamnosyl and dirhamnosyl rhamnolipids formed lipophilic complexes with copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn). Rhamnolipids significantly increased Zn absorption by Brassica napus var. Pinnacle roots in (65)Zn-spiked ice-cold solutions, compared with ZnSO4 alone. Therefore, rhamnolipid app...

Nitrogen (N) is the most limiting nutrient in cereal production, yet its use efficiency remains very low at only 35%. Nutrient (NUE) crucial for increasing crop yield and quality while reducing fertilizer inputs minimizing environmental damage. Optimum N rates that maximize without NUE have been found to vary from location location. This field study assessed effect of on spring wheat (Triticum ...

poor wheat stand establishment is a major cause of yield loss, particularly in rainfed and poorly irrigated environments. seeds of eight wheat cultivars (triticum aestivum l.) including irrigated and rainfed varieties, belonging to three different climates of iran (hamedan as cold, karaj as temperate and sarpolzohab as warm climates) were primed using osmoprimig treatments through use of urea ,...

Due to increasing scarcity of fresh water, use of unconventional water source (e.g., wastewater) in irrigation has now become important. However, inclusive information on the effects of wastewater on crop production and soil health is necessary for such intervention. This study was designed to evaluate these effects by demonstrating the contribution of municipal wastewater (hereafter called was...

In order to study the inheritance of some traits related to grain yield in drought stress conditions in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), F2, F3 and F4 generations derived from a Kharchia (tolerant) × Gaspard (susceptible) cross and their parents were used separately in a complete randomized block design with two replications. Stem length, biological yield, main spike straw weight, total spik...

the effects of an azotobacter chrococum isolate (strain ag11) and vermicompost and their combined effects on a rain-fed winter wheat (var. zagros) nutrient uptake and growth and soil water content were investigated with a farm trial.  the dry matter yield was determined in 5 occasions. gravimetric soil water content, soil microbial respiration and the number of azotobacter were determined at sa...

In order to study of the effect of priming and salinity on physiological and chemical characteristics of wheat(Triticum aestivum L.), an experiment was carried out at the Experimental Farm of Shiraz University. Results showedthat primed plants significantly reduced its gas exchanges by accelerating senescence under a series of salt stress,which became more serious along with the increasing of s...
