Effect of Planting Date on Protein content of Wheat varieties
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
To study the effect of planting time on quality characteristics of wheat varieties, (MORVARID and N-85-5), an experiment was conducted at Wheat Research Institute, Faisalabad from 2012. The crop was sown from (Dec 21, Dec 30 and Jan 29). At harvest, samples were taken from each plot and analyzed qualitatively. Characters such as 1000-grain weight, test weight and flour yield declined progressively with delayed sowing. These had shown maximum value in first planting date i.e.21 Dec. and minimum value in the last planting date i.e. 29 Jan. Protein content and bread quality improved by delayed sowing. Best chapati quality was obtained in mid and late sowings, however in case of MORVARID, chapati quality was adversely affected in last sowing date. N-85-5 proved superior for protein content, chapati and bread quality while MORVARID was superior for rest of the characters. Year effects were non significant for all the characteristics.
