The present study has been focussed on the effect of untreated tannery effluent on germination, seedling growth and pigment contents of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var. PBW-373).Germination studies were conducted with wheat seeds having various concentrations of (4.5, 9, 13.5, and 18%) tannery effluent and five treatments (Eo, E4.5, E9, E13.5 and E18).The +ve germination parameters i.e. cumulative percent germination, germination index etc. found to be maximum in E4.5. The –ve germination parameters like delay index, percent inhibition showed minimum values for E4.5. Growth parameters also decreased with increase in effluent concentration. The pigment contents i.e. chlorophyll-a and chlorophyll-b also showed good results at E4.5.

Pregermination exposure of Kharkov 22 M.C. winter wheat seeds (Triticum aestivum L.) to introduced magnetic fields resulted in a stable, temperature-independent enhancement of seedling growth rate. The level of magnetic intensity required to give maximum response appears to be between 0.5 and 100 oersteds when applied for 240 hours.

Seed germination of three varieties of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) CONDOR, SERI and T.R. evaluated under 5 drought levels (0.0 mPa (control),-0.3 mPa, -0.6 mPa, -0.9 mPa and -1.2 mPa). We used polyethylene glycol (PEG6000) to make drought stress conditions. Germinated seeds were counted daily up to 14 days under laboratory conditions. Percentage and mean germination time, coefficients of germination, mean germination rate, and uncertainty of germination process as germination parameters. Shoots and roots length; fresh, dry weight of shoots and roots, leaves and roots number, the surface area of leaves as seedling growth parameters were studied. The data was analyzed statistically using SPSS software, to identify significant differences among wheat varieties and among treatment. Comparison between means showed that the highest value for most of germination parameters recorded for SERI variety followed by T.R., and most of seedling growth parameters were recorded for T.R. followed by SERI. The results determined that seeds of all varieties germinate well in the lowest concentration of PEG. Increase the concentration of PEG affect all germination and seedling growth parameters.

A field experiment was conducted in Kanan region, province of Diyala, Iraq during the winter season 2016-2017 to screen herbicides for wheat cultivation. Six herbicides viz., Salix, Cronus, Pallas, Granstar, Topic and Atlantis were sprayed as post-emergence with second irrigation 54 days after crop sowing. Wheat growth parameters viz Crop height, Spike length and number of grains per spike were a higher in Granstar&Topic (105.2 cm, 12.6 cm, 51.4) respectively, 1000 grain weight were noted with Atlantis (40.9 g). followed by Granstar&Topic (39.2 g), Number of plants / m2 was a higher in Atlantis (430), Grain yield g \ acre was significantly increased in Granstar&Topic (1848 g) weeds growth parameters like Number of weeds / m2, Dry weight of weeds g, Weed control % and Weeds inhibition % were lower in Salix&cronos (0.0,0.0 g,100%,100%) respectively.
