The influence of seeding rate and micronutrients foliar application on grain yield and quality traits and micronutrients of durum wheat

摘要: Abstract A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of seeding rate and foliar application micronutrients their synergistic effects on grain yield quality traits durum wheat. split-split plot design used with varieties assigned main plot, micronutrient sub plots rates sub-sub plots. Varieties were sown at 100, 125, 150 175 kg ha−1 treated ZnSO4 FeSO4, applied foliarly 25 kg ha−1 during anthesis stage. Significant differences among rates, some interactions observed. Higher increased biomass yields by 23.5% 21.5%, respectively. Increasing seed from 100 has reduced protein, gluten Zeleny contents 8.7%, 10.8% 9.1%, FeSO4 × seeding interaction improved better than interacted rate. Application FeSO4 Zn Fe concentrations in harvested grain. Agronomic biofortification could be an approach overcome health problem related deficiency if combination crop known genetic response micro fertilizers.
