Effect of Macro- and Micro- Nutrients on Grain Yield and Quality Related Traits of Two Bread Wheat Cultivars

Authors

Abstract

To determine the effect of macro- and micro- nutrients applicaton on quantity and quality related traits of two wheat cultivars (Parsi and Marvdasht), a split plot arragement experiment in randomaized complete block design with three replications was carried out at Karaj SPII, experimental field during two cropping seasons 2010-2012. The main plots were nutrition management including no application of fertilizer (control), macro-nutrient and macro + micro-nutrient. Two bread wheat cultivars were randomized in sub-plots. Grain yield, 1000 grain weight, protein content, wet gluten (%), gluten index, Zeleny sedimentation volume, SDS- sedimentation height, falling number and bread volume were measured. Combined analysis of variance showed that nutrition management effect on the grain yield, grain protein contant (%), SDS, Zeleny, wet gluten (%), gluten index, hardness index and bread volume was significant. Results showed that cultivar effect on 1000 grain weight, wet gluten (%), gluten index, bread volume and falling number was significant. Parsi had the highest grain yield and grain quality related traits (except gluten index).
