limitations of water and nitrogen in soil usually restrict plant growth. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different amounts of supplemental irrigation at different growth stages and application of different rates of nitrogen fertilizer on grain yield and water productivity of wheat cultivars. a field experiment was conducted in the agricultural research station of shah...

Four million hectares of wheat are planted after cotton and rice in Pakistan. Little research has been done on the aronomy of wheat following these crops on a cropping pattern basis. Both of these crops delay wheat planting, and it is estimated that 40–50 kg of wheat grain is lost for every day that planting is delayed past 20 November. Current recommendations for land preparation, fertilizer u...

Among health-promoting phytochemicals in whole grains, phenolic compounds have gained attention as they have strong antioxidant properties and can protect against many degenerative diseases. Aim of this study was to profile grain phenolic extracts of one modern and five old common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties and to evaluate their potential antiproliferative or cytoprotective effect i...

in order to compare the agronomic characteristics of developed iranian spring wheat genotypes (selective cultivars from: endemic landraces of wheat, interal hybrid wheat and international centers) and also the identifying traits affecting grain production under different concentration of iron in the soil solution, a randomized complete block design with a split-plot arrangement with 30 wheat ge...

rust diseases continue to cause significant losses to wheat production around the world. among them, yellow rust caused by puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici is an important disease that threatens wheat production in most cool environments. host resistance, especially race- nonspecific resistance, is the most economical way to manage wheat stripe rust disease. in this study, the effectiveness ...

Dry seeds of seven winter wheat varieties and one line were exposed by gamma-rays and chemical mutagens to determine their effect on plant grows and development. Next parameters have been investigated – plant survival, pollen fertility, components of yield structure. Informative value by mutation depression evaluation of all parameters has been developed. The most informative parameters for mut...

The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of inoculation (Azotobacter chroococcum and actinomycetes) and nitrogen mineral fertilizers (doses of 60 kg N ha-1 and 120 kg N ha-1) on the yield of wheat and on the number and activity of certain microorganisms in rhizospheric soil. The investigation was carried out in humogley soil with three wheat varieties. The variants of the experime...
