Abstract Bread wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in Ethiopia. The productivity markedly constrained by nutrient depletion and inadequate fertilizer application. experiment was conducted to study effect nitrogen (N) potassium (K) rates on growth, yield, uptake use efficiency during 2019 cropping season Kedida Gamela Woreda , Kembata Tembaro Zone Southern Fac...

A field experiment was conducted to observe the influence of a cover crop (winter wheat, Triticum aestivum L.), and a perennial weed (dandelion, Taraxacum officinale Weber ex Wigg.), on vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) inoculum potential, soil aggregation, and maize yield after one season. Mycorrhizal colonization of maize roots was higher following the autumn planting of either winter whe...

Intercropping often results in increasing production than sole per unit land area, but theunderlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Plants showed different physiologicalcharacteristics in intercropping and sole. However, less information was shown the relationshipsbetween plant aboveground biomass (AB), phosphorus accumulation (PB) and remobilizationand the yield advantage. Here, field exper...

Dairy manure increases the yields of dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) from eroded, furrow-irrigated soils and may increase corn (Zea mays L.) silage yield from steeper eroded areas under sprinkler irrigation. In a 2-year field study in southern Idaho on Portneuf silt loam (coarse silty, mixed, superactive, mesic Durinodic Xeric Haplocalcid), the effects o...

Abstract Large distribution of roots in topsoil layers allow more uptake soil water and nutrients during the vegetative growth, but it may be disadvantageous if deficit develops reproductive stage. The relationship between (0–0.4 m) use, dry matter nitrogen (N) accumulations, grain yield was examined winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) with contrasting root size topsoil. Two old landraces (CW13...

Through mutagenesis with gamma rays, mutants characterized by reduced plant height, square head, awnless ear, amber seed colour, bold seeds and storage capacities were induced in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L) cv. Kharchia 65. The were isolated in M generation; derived from 10, 20, 30 and 40 kR of gamma 2 rays treated M population. In the M generation, some, progenies with morphological muta...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)/maize (Zea mays L.)/soybean (Glycine max L.) relay strip intercropping (W/M/S) system is commonly used by the smallholders in the Southwest of China. However, little known is how to manage phosphorus (P) to enhance P use efficiency of the W/M/S system and to mitigate P leaching that is a major source of pollution. Field experiments were carried out in 2011, 2012, an...

This research was conducted to evaluate effects of mycorrhiza fungi and nano zinc oxide on agro physiological traits of wheat under salinity stress based on factorial experiment according complete randomized block design with three replications under greenhouse condition at 2014. Treatments included salinity in three levels [no-salt (S0) or control, salinity 40 (S1) and 80 (S2) mM NaCl], two le...

Improving the efficiency of resource utilization has received increasing research attention in recent years. In this study, we explored the potential physiological mechanisms underlying improved grain yield and water-use efficiency of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) following organic fertilizer application. Two wheat cultivars, ChangHan58 (CH58) and XiNong9871 (XN9871), were grown under the...
