Abstract:

A greenhouse study was conducted to investigate the effects of nitrogen (N) on wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum Koch) interference with winter wheat (Triticum aestivum var. Pishtaz) by an additive series experiment. The experiment was conducted in a split plot design with 3 replications. Wheat plant height losses were on average 30, 10, and 10% in a wild barley density of 16 plants per pot with an N supply of 40, 80, and 160 mg per kgsoil, respectively. At all N application rates, wheat tillers decreased in the presence of wild barley densities of 4, 8, and 16 plants per pot. Increased N stimulated wheat tiller growth per plant but this effect was reduced by wild barley interference. The highest leaf area was observed at 80 mg N per kg soil for both species in monocultures. Significant differences were observed among wheat dry weight values in all wild barley densities and at each level of N application rate. Shoot N concentration of wild barley was greater than that of wheat. Wild barley competition always reduced shoot N concentration of wheat and this was increased with increasing wild barley density. The results of this study suggested that wild barley is more responsive to soil N levels than wheat.

INHIBITORY EFFECTS OF WILD BARLEY (HORDEUM SPONTANEUM Koch.) RESIDUES ON GERMINATION AND SEEDLING GROWTH OF WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.) AND ITS OWN PLANT

Laboratory studies were conducted to examine the effects of different concentrations of wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum Koch.) shoot and seed extracts on germination and seedling growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and wild barley. In this study, all wild barley shoot extract concentrations (with exception of lowest concentration) significantly reduced wheat seed germination after 7 days. Sh...

Phytotoxicity effects of soil amended residues of wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum Koch) on growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) growth and yield are depressed by physical and chemical interference of weeds. Recently, wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum) population has increased in wheat fields of many provinces of Iran. Since, little is known about the allelopathic effects of wild barley residues in soil, greenhouse studies were conducted to examine the effects of soil amended residues of wild barl...

response of wild barley (hordeum spontaneum) and wheat (triticum aestivum) to different herbicides in greenhouse

in order to study the response of wheat (triticum aestivum) cv. chamran and wild barley (hordeum spontaneum) to different herbicides, a pot dose response experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replication at research greenhouse of ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2008. different doses of herbicides including clodinafop propargyl, pinoxaden, sulfosulfuron, and met...

Vernalisation Response of Some Winter Wheat Cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.)

For 17 cultivars of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) different vernalisation and photoperiod responses were detected. The effect of photoperiod sensitivity was not significantly changed by vernalisation; different vernalisation responses were probably due to the presence of multiple alleles at Vrn loci. The delay in heading depended on the vernalisation deficit exponentially: y = parameter (...
