Abstract:

One way to increase crop yield per unit of area is to close the gap between actual and potential yield in cropping systems. This study was conducted to determine the factors that affeced wheat yield gap in Khorramshahr, Iran during 2018-2019 growing season. In this study 60 fields of different areas under cultivation, field management practices and grain yield yield levels were surveyed based on information from agricultural services centers and continuous monitoring. Comparative performance analysis (CPA) method was used to evaluate the grain yield gap. Theaverage grain yield, attainable grain yield and wheat yield gap in Khorramshahr were 3740, 5455 and 1715 kg.ha-1, respectively. Estimated yield gap (31.5%) in this study indicated that the high importance of appropriate management practices on wheat grain yield. Most important variables affected wheat grain yield gap were included Illoxane herbicide application (579 kg.ha-1), farmers education level (292 kg.ha-1), irrigation intervals (279 kg.ha-1), potassium fertilizer application rate (256 kg.ha-1) and planting machinery and equipment (179 kg.ha-1). These factors accounted for 87.45% of the calculated grain yield gap. The results of this study showed that by improving crop management practices, the grain yield gap of wheat fields in Khorramshahr region can be reduced.

Genetic Analysis of Androgenetic Traits in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters and to investigate the type of gene action in controlling androgenesis in wheat. Two wheat cultivars of Grebe and Houtman were reciprocally crossed with two synthetic genotypes of Do1 and Pol and then a complete set of the parents, F1, reciprocal F1 (RF1), F2 and back-cross generations (BC1 and BC2) of each cross were used for anthe...

Estimation of phenological parameters in SSM-Wheat model for bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes in Golestan province of Iran

To estimate required parameters of phenology sub-model in SSM-Wheat model (cardinal temperatures, critical photoperiods and photoperiod sensitivity coefficient) and to determine of the biological day for eight bread wheat genotypes (Morvarid, Tajan, Kohdasht, Darya, Gonbad, Arta, N-87-20 and N-87-19) in Golestan province of Iran in 12 sowing dates, an experiment was carried out using randomized...

The wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) leaf proteome.

The wheat leaf proteome was mapped and partially characterized to function as a comparative template for future wheat research. In total, 404 proteins were visualized, and 277 of these were selected for analysis based on reproducibility and relative quantity. Using a combination of protein and expressed sequence tag database searching, 142 proteins were putatively identified with an identificat...

Leaf Anatomical Characters in Relation to Grain Yield of Wheat (triticum Aestivum L.) Cultivars

An experiment was carried out to study the variability of leaf anatomical characters of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars and their association with grain yields. Results indicated that in most of the cases cultivar differences were significant. In respect of 6th leaf anatomical characters, simple correlation coefficients indicated that most of the leaf anatomical traits had significant ne...

Simulation of Maintenance Respiration in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Respiration has a profound influence on crop yield because dry matter accumulation by a crop is closely related to assimilation of CO and respiratory activity. This paper describes the development of a 2 simulation model for respiration in wheat. While the growth respiration can be assumed to be proportional to the assimilation of CO , the model concentrated on the effects of biotic and environ...

Genetic Heritability for Grain Yield and Its Related Characters in Spring Wheat (triticum Aestivum L.)

Seven F3 progenies and their 8 parental lines of spring wheat were evaluated for some genetic parameters viz., coefficient of variability (Cv), genetic variance (Vg), heritability percentage (h %) and genetic advance (GA) in 7 quantitative characters (grain yield and its associated traits). Highly significant (p≤0.01) differences were observed for all the characters viz. plant height, number of...
