Variation of Some Yield‒contributing Traits of Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Varieties under the Effect of Furolan and Mineral Fertilizer
Journal Title: Asian Research Journal of Agriculture - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Aims: This study was carried out to investigate the variation of some yield contributing traits namely; grain weight ear-1, grain weight plant-1and 1000–grain weight in three winter varieties under the influence of the following factors including;, growth regulator, Furolan and mineral fertilizer. Sample: Three winter varieties used for this study were subjected to the following factors namely; mineral fertilizers and growth regulator, Furolan. Study Design: The seeds were planted in 3 m х 8 m = 24 m2 plot of in three replicates in complete randomized design. Place and Duration of Study: The laboratory tests and field work were carried out in the All-Russian Rice Research Institute, Belozerny, Krasnodar, Russia from 2009 to 2011. Methodology: The laboratory tests and field work were carried out in All-Russian Rice Research Institute, Belozerny, Krasnodar, Russia from 2009 to 2011. The variation of some yield-contributing traits in three winter varieties under the influence of mineral fertilizers and growth regulator, Furolan was investigated. The data obtained from this factorial experiment were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: For the factor A (variety) grain weight ear-1 of varieties studied varied as follows: 1.17 g (Deya); 1.19 g (Krasnodarskaya 99) and 1.25 g (Bat’ko), (LSD05-factor A = 0.01). The best performing variety on the account of this trait under the influence of mineral fertilizers and growth regulator was Bat’ko (variety) which formed grain weight ear-1 of 1.25 g. Conclusion: From this study; investigating the effect of Furolan and mineral fertilizers on some of the yield-contributing traits in three winter wheat varieties it might be concluded that the yield performance in various yield traits was generally enhanced under the influence of these factors particularly when they were combined. The information generated from this study could be used to identify effective strategies for the sustainable management of the genetic resources of wheat.
