A pot experiment was conducted in a green house at Tishreen University in which bread
wheat (cv. Sham 6) was grown at different levels of potassium nutrition (K0=0, K1=25,
K2=50, K3=75, K4=100, K5=150) mg k/kg soil. The increase in potassium fertil
ization
rates led to a significant increase in the number of total tillers and fertile tillers on the
expense of non-fertile tillers. This was accompanied with no significant increase in
number of main stems spikes grains, while the tillers spikes of the first level of potassium
application (K1) was higher significantly compared to control treatment (K0). The same
treatment (K1) gave the best weight of grain on the main stems spikes and tillers. The
productivity of grain yield increased (but non-significantly) with increasing the level of
potassium fertilization. The highest yield value was obtained in K5 treatment which was
13933 kg /ha. This productivity constitutes a rate of increase 18% compared to the control
treatment (K0). The calculation of Agronomic Efficiency (AE) showed a high value of
(about 13 kg seeds/kg of K fertilizer added) in the K1 treatment, and thereafter, AE
gradually decreased with potassium fertilization to reach about 6 kg grain/kg K fertilizer
for K4 and K5 treatments (100 and 150 mg K/kg).
A population of soft wheat which lives naturally on the edges of saline Ain
Malilah’s Sebkha, located to the southeast of Qasantina from the east of Algeria,
and four varieties i.e. HD1220, ARZ, AS and ANF, to evaluate their performance
under seve
ral abiotic stresses conditions, and to study their response to fertilization,
based on some phenological, morphological, chemical characteristics such as: Life
cycle (from cultivation until the appearance of 1/4 spikes), germination potentiality,
tellering, leaf area, total chlorophyll content, relative water content, carbohydrates
content.
Photosynthetic transport was studied as an indicator of photosynthesis efficiency in
two bread wheat cultivars (ACSAD 899, ACSAD 1059) under the influence of one of the
salt stress.
This study was carried out in sand cultures irrigated with nutrie
nt solution in a
growth chamber, and 14 days seedlings were treated with 100 mM of sodium chloride.
Later the electron transport rates in those plants thylakoids were measured in 21, 28, 35
days of the experiment.
Electron transport rates decreased in ACSAD 899 and reached 57% in the last day of
the experiment, while it was 24.6% in ACSAD 1059.
The decrease in photosynthetic electron transport rate leads to a decrease in the
reduction rate of CO2 and the plant productivity as a consequence. Therefore, it could be
used as criterion to express photosynthesis.
The Experiment was conducted during the successive growing
seasons (2013/2014- 2014/2015) where half–diallel hybridization was
conducted between eight genotypes of bread wheat.
Yellow rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici is one of the most important
disease affecting wheat worldwide. The objective of this study was to evaluate
some morphological and productivity characteristics of durum and soft wheat
collected from different locations of Syria.
Two separate pot experiments were conducted during the agricultural season (2012-2013) and a complete randomization system was used, studying the response of four certified Syrian soft wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L), namely (Sham 4, Sham 6, Bo
houth 4, Bohuth 6) towards nitrogenous additives and the dates of addition different types and evaluate the efficiency of these varieties in benefiting from the added nitrogen fertilizer.
This study was carried out through the cooperation between the Faculty of
Agriculture Tishreen University and the General Commission of Agricultural Scientific
Researches in Hama during 2013 and 2014 successive seasons.
Eight soft wheat(Triticumae
stivum)genotypes were crossed using half diallel method
.The(28) crosses were grown along with their parents in randomized complete block with
three replications to estimate general combiningability , specific combining ability, and
both mid and high parent heterosis for number of spikes /plant , number of grains /spike ,
thousand grain weight and grain yield.
The results indicated that both additive and non- additive types of gene action were
important in the inheritance of traits under study with preponderance of additive gene
effects for number of grains /spike and thousand grain weight,Non – additive gene effects
were pronounced in the inheritance of number of spikes /plant and grain yield.
High general combiners for thesecharacters were obtained and the most important
parents were: Bohouth 4- Douma 44828-Acsad1115- Golan2.
Many positive specific combiners having both mid and high parent heterosis and
derived from positive general combiners were obtained such as(Golan2×Cham10) –
(Acsad1115×Douma4)(Douma44828×Golan2) and (Douma 2×Golan2).
Results also indicated that some hybrids: (Douma44828×Golan2) (Bohouth6×Douma4)
(Douma44828×Cham10) (Douma2×Acsad1115) had heterosis compared to higher parent
for number of spikes /plant , number of grains / spike , Thousand grain weight and grain
yield..
This study was conducted in a pot experiment during 2012-2013 to investigate the
response of four Syrian bread wheat cultivars (Sham 4, Sham 6, Bohouth 4, and Bohouth
6) to increasing levels of nitrogen fertilization (0, 40, 80, 120, 160, and 200 k
g N/h).
Nitrogen was added in two equal split applications, half was added as urea (46% N) at
sowing, and the second half was added as ammonium nitrate (33.5 % N) at tillerring and
stem elongation stage. Some growth and productivity parameters were investigated.
Nitrogen application led in all four cultivars to significant increase in number of
tillers, productive on the expense of non-productive tillers. This was accompanied by a
significant increase in number of spikes on plant and number and weight of grain in the
spike. Sham 6 had a higher number of productive tillers at nitrogen rate of application 200
kg N/h, whereas Bohouth 4 had a greater height for main stems and tillers compared to
other cultivars.
Grain productivity increased with the first level of nitrogen application (40 kg N/h)
by a rate of 53, 57, 55, and 48 % for cultivars Sham 4, Sham 6, Bohouth 4, and Bohouth 6,
respectively. Grain yield reached with nitrogen application of 200 kg N/h to 15.89, 15.96,
13.6, and 15.7 ton/h, respectively. Cultivars differed significantly in grain yield within
each nitrogen application level. Grain yield for Bohouth 6 got closer to Sham 4 and Sham
6 with nitrogen application reaching 160 kg N/h, and after which became not significantly
different, while grain yield of Bohouth 4 remains significantly lower compared to all
cultivars.
The present investigation was conducted during 2010/2011 and 2011/2012
growing seasons at Karahta station for field crops research, General
Commission for Scientific Agricultural Researches (G.C.S.A.R.), Syria. Forty
five hybrids F1 produced using
a half diallel cross among ten bread wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes, in 2010/2011 season, were evaluated during
2011/2012 season in order to study som of the genetic parameters for grain
yield per plant, its components, some morphophysiological and quality traits to
determine the basic criteria for selection.
