A field experiment was conducted to determine the sensitivity of wheat to water stress and changes in water relations and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under water stress conditions applied at different growth stages. The experiment comprised of two wheat cultivars and four water stress treatments, maintained by withholding water at tillering, anthesis, and at both stages. Water stress ...

In a pot culture experiment, the root length density, potassium concentration in crop, and total K uptake by wheat (Triticum aestivum var. HD 2285) at different growth stages (CRIS-Crown Root Initiation Stage, MTS-Maximum Tillering Stage, FLS-Flag Leaf Stage and DFS-Dough Formation Stage) were determined. Wheat crop was grown in 72 pots containing 4.5 kg of three types of soils, namely Alfisol,...

Waterlogging reduces shoot and root growth and final yield of wheat. Waterlogged sites have a combination of low slope, high rainfall, heavy texture and low permeability. This study was aimed the importance of waterlogging on root growth and wheat yield. In order to study the effects of different waterlogging duration (0, 10, 20 and 30 days) at growth stages (1-leaf stage, tillering stage and s...

Widyaratne, G. P. and Zijlstra, R. T. 2007. Nutritional value of wheat and corn distiller’s dried grain with solubles: Digestibility and digestible contents of energy, amino acids and phosphorus, nutrient excretion and growth performance of grower-finisher pigs. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 87: 103–114. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of distiller’s dried grains with solu...

in order to study of nitrogen absorb and use efficiency of wheat (triticum aestivum) and wild oat (avena fatua) at vegetative growth stage, a factorial experiment was conducted based on completely randomized block design with three replications in research greenhouse of faculty of agriculture, at ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2008. the first factor was competition between wild oat (densitie...

in order to study the interaction allelopathic effects of wheat, barley and wild mustard on seed germination and seedling growth, this investigation was conducted in 2009 in two separate experiments. allelopathic effect of four aqueous extracts (0, 2.5, 5 and 10%) of wild mustard on wheat and barley germination was evaluated in the first experiment, based on two randomized completely designs (r...

Wheat grain protein content (GPC) is a key component when evaluating wheat nutrition. It is also important to determine wheat GPC before harvest for agricultural and food process enterprises in order to optimize the wheat grading process. Wheat GPC across a field is spatially variable due to the inherent variability of soil properties and position in the landscape. The objectives of this field ...

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...

an experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of se spraying on yield and growth indices of wheat under drought stress condition, in agriculture and natural resource research center of tehran province in 2011-12. a split plot layout within randomized complete block design with three replications were used. main plots were three irrigation treatments (normal irrigation, non-irriga...

Understanding how precipitation inter-annually changes and its implication in agricultural drought and production change in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth season is critical for crop production in China. MODIS Temperature-Vegetation Dryness Index (TVDI) and daily mean precipitation time series for the main growth season(Feb. to May) of winter wheat from 2000 to 2010 were used to ana...
