Produced wheat seed as affected by different tillage systems in maternal environment

Journal Title: Scientia Agriculturae - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

 Although there are many studies that evaluated the effects of the maternal environment on different aspects of seed quality; however, there is no information about different tillage systems in maternal environmental and its effect of seed quality of produced seed. Thus a field and laboratory study was conducted to examine the effect of three different tillage systems (CT as conventional, MT as minimum tillage and ZT as zero tillage) in maternal environment on germination of produced wheat (Triticumaestivum L. cv. Shiraz) seed in College of Agriculture, Shiraz University during 20011-2012 growing season. The results showed that tillage system had significant effect on grain yield in field; and subsequently affect seed germination and seedling growth. The highest grain weight and yield were obtained in CT treatments. The laboratory experiment showed that the developed seeds in different tillage system had different seed germination and early growth. Conservation tillage systems in maternal environment caused a significant reduction in seed germination traits, radicle and plumule length, as well as, vigor index of next generation. Although our results showed thatthe negative effect of MT and ZT on produced seeds could be an important factor for adoption of conservation tillage systems; however it has not been studies. Thus, further researches in this area are critically needed.
