Sulfur Nutrition

Wholemeal grists of five wheat cultivars (T. aestivum L.) - Gabo, Olympic, Stockade, Insignia and Summit - grown in sand culture supplied with low (10 �M), medium (375 �M) and high (875 �M) concentrations of sulfur, were analysed for their specific activities of ATP sulfurylase (EC 2.7.7.4, ATP:sulfate adenylyltransferase). Under sulfur deficient conditions, residual activities were significantly higher in Gabo, Olympic and Stockade. Olympic maintained significantly higher activities at both the medium and high sulfur concentrations. All cultivars except Summit showed significantly lower activities when the sulfur deficiency was corrected. The results are discussed in relation to grain yield per plant, yield components, grain N, S, P contents and Pelshenke quality data. Grain yield per plant and ATP sulfurylase activity were positively correlated at all sulfur levels.

A 3-year study was conducted to measure the effect of sowing time and seeding rate on the development and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown under high-yielding conditions in north-eastern Victoria. A range of wheat cultivars with different development responses, including 'winter' types, was used in 2 experiments in each season. High grain yields for dryland wheat were measured in the first 2 seasons (1985-86), and in 1985, near-optimal water use efficiencies (>18 kg/ha. mm effective rainfall) were obtained. In the third season (1987) grain yield was limited by adverse climatic conditions-in the me- and post-anthesis period. In each season, grain yield declined with delay in sowing time. In 1985 there was a loss of 200-250 kg grain/ha for each week's delay in sowing time. In 1987, yield loss with delayed sowing was 50-110 kg grain/ha. In each season, cultivars with late or midseason maturity development gave the highest mean yields, and the use of these maturity types allowed earlier sowing, in mid April. However, with late sowing of wheat there was a trend for early maturity types to give higher yields, and so the use of 2 wheat cultivars with distinct maturity development responses to climate is recommended. If only 1 wheat cultivar is to be used, then a late maturity type is recommended. Higher wheat yields were also obtained as spike density increased, as a result of higher seeding rates. Our data suggest that in the higher rainfall region of north-eastern Victoria, a spike density of about 500 spikes/m2 is required to optimise wheat yields.

Eight cultivars of spring wheat, Triticum aestivum L., were evaluated at seeding rates of 110, 270 and 430 seeds/m2 in a total of nine experiments spanning three locations, two dates of seeding and 2 yr. Grain yield exhibited a significant cultivar × experiment × linear response to seeding rate interaction. Grain yield of Pitic 62 showed a significant decrease with increased seeding rate in one experiment while giving the greatest increase in another. Over all experiments, the highest seeding rate gave the highest grain yield. For straw yield, Chester showed the greatest response to seed rate, Canuck the least. With the exception of Canuck, which showed a significant increase in harvest index with increased seeding rate, harvest index tended to be greater at the intermediate seeding rate.

The present study was carried out to determine the contribution of main stems and tillers to the total yield of two wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.), Cocoraque and BH-1146, under two water treatments: a) normal field conditions, and; b) irrigation, in Londrina, PR, Brazil. The experiment was an eight replication randomized complete block design with treatments arranged in split-plots. Data on total grain yield, main stem grain yield, tillers grain yield, the ratio between tiller and total grain yield, yield components and other 17 traits were collected. The cultivar BH-1146 had a higher total grain yield in relation to Cocoraque under normal field conditions; i, e., under water stress. Main stem grain yield responded positively and significantly to irrigation which was the main cause of increased yield in both cultivars. The tiller grain yield contributed little to the total yield.

Abstract Sabaghnia N., Janmohammadi M., 2014: Interrelationships among some morphological traits of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars using biplot [Kviečių (Triticum aestivum L.) veislių morfologinių požymių sąveika naudojant biplot metodą]. - Bot. Lith., 20(1): 19-26. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the major food crops worldwide and Iran produces about 14 million tons of wheat annually. Effective interpretation of the data on breeding programmes is important at all stages of plant improvement. The cultivar by trait (CT) biplot was used for two-way wheat dataset as cultivars with multiple traits. For this propose, 13 wheat cultivars with specific characteristics were tested and the CT biplot for wheat dataset explained 65% of the total variation of the standardized data. The polygon view of CT presented for 18 different traits of wheat cultivars showed six vertex cultivars as G3, G4, G5, G9, G11 and G12. The cultivar G4 had the highest values for most of the measured traits. Generally based on vector view, ideal cultivar and ideal tester biplots, it was demonstrated that the selection of high grain yield will be performed via thousand seed weight, spike length and grain diameter. These traits should be considered simultaneously as effective selection criteria evolving high yielding wheat cultivars because of their large contribution to grain yield. The cultivars G3 and G4 could be considered for the developing of desirable progenies in the selection strategy of wheat improvement programmes

Herbicide Treatment

In field experiments at Charlottetown, P.E.I., five herbicides evaluated at two rates of application on eight spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars showed no effect on dry plant weight 20 days after treatment. Herbicide treatment with dicamba resulted in a greater number of deformed heads per plot compared with the untreated in 1980 and with all herbicides except diclofop-methyl in 1981. More deformed heads occurred with dicamba and the 2,4-D/mecoprop/dicamba mixture at the higher rate of application in 1981 than with the other herbicides and the lower rate of application. All cultivars had more deformed heads than the untreated control when treated with 2,4-D, dicamba and the 2,4-D/mecoprop/dicamba mixture in 1981. Neepawa and Dundas had more deformed heads than the other cultivars when treated with MCPA. Head deformation by herbicide treatment had no adverse effect on grain yield in this study.Key words: Spring wheat cultivars, herbicides, head deformation, 2,4-D, MCPA, dicamba, diclofop-methyl

Phosphorus Levels

A glasshouse sand culture experiment was conducted to determine the effects of sulphur supplied at 10,375 and 875µM concentrations on total dry matter production per plant (TDM), grain yield, harvest index (HI), yield components, nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus levels in herbage and grain samples of two vitreous grained (Stockade and Gabo) and three non-vitreous grained (Insignia, Olympic and Summit) wheat cultivars (T. aestivum L.). Pelshenke doughball fermentation tests were done on wholemeal samples from all treatments.Stockade and Gabo had higher TDM than Insignia, Olympic and Summit at 10µM sulphur concentration, but relatively lower harvest indices. At 375µM sulphur, TDM increased for all cultivars; Gabo and Stockade continued to have relatively higher TDM, but Stockade produced only half the increase of any other cultivar. However, Stockade doubled its HI which, in turn, was double the increase recorded by Olympic and Summit. Insignia failed to increase its HI. Only Stockade showed increased TDM at 875µM sulphur. Olympic had the highest HI values at both 375 and 875µM sulphur. Similar grain yield increases for all cultivars were largely attained by differential grain number-grain size combinations. The higher sulphur supplies therefore stimulated the translocation of photosynthates to the developing grains and/or shifted the location of most rapid cell division from vegetative to reproductive sites. Stockade and Gabo had relatively higher percentages of grain sulphur at 10µM sulphur than the other cultivars and Stockade continued to have the highest percentage of grain sulphur at 375 and 875µM concentration. Except for a marked fall by Insignia, an increasing sulphur supply did not affect the distribution of sulphur within the plants as the indices for percentage sulphur remained largely unchanged. However, the distribution of nitrogen and phosphorus from straw to grain were both stimulated. Stockade and Gabo had relatively larger increases in their indices of percentage nitrogen, but the non-vitreous grained cultivars showed relatively larger increases in the percentage of nitrogen in the grain. Comparatively poor Pelshenke results, especially for Stockade, at I0µM sulphur, indicate an adverse affect of sulphur deficiency on grain quality. The experiment has shown that variation in sulphate sulphur supply differentially affected the biological and physico-chemical mechanisms controlling the optimum phenotypic expression of five wheat genotypes (cultivars). Part of these mechanisms involves close interrelationships and interactions between the uptake and/or metabolism of sulphur, phosphorus and nitrogen anions. Stockade was a particularly responsive cultivar to sulphur, while Insignia was relatively insensitive.

A field experiment was conducted to study the response of different 11 wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars under saline condition and by applying saline irrigation water during rabi 2016-17 at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Sri Muktsar Sahib (Punjab). Experiment site was chosen with high salinity condition (EC=1.87 dS/m) to check the response of particular cultivars in these conditions. The field was only irrigated with tube well water having very high EC (4630 micro mhos/cm). Results showed that the grain yield was recorded higher in KH 65 (5648 kg/ha), KRL 210 (5440 kg/ha), KRL 386 (5290 kg/ha) and DBW 246 (5048 kg/ha) as compared to lower grain yield recorded with KRL 384 (4353 kg/ha), KRL 19 (4423 kg/ha), KRL 370 (4538 kg/ha), DBW 248 (4608 kg/ha),WH 1316 (4838 kg/ha), DBW 247 (4860 kg/ha) and KRL 377 (4895 kg/ha). The experimental site was slightly saline in nature, so the cultivar KH 65, KRL 210, KRL 386 and DBW 246 are very suitable for the area as these were less affected due to salinity. Grain yield among these varieties were higher due higher number of effective tiller per unit area and due to large number of grains per ear. Whereas, KH 65, KRL 377 and KRL 386 also produced significantly higher straw yield from WH 1316, DBW 248, DBW 247, KRL 210, KRL 384, DBW 246, KRL 370 and KRL 19.

The sowing density of wheat is important for expression of number of spikes per unit area, grain yield as well as other yield components. The aim of this work is investigation of variability of grain yield and number of spikes per unit area influenced by different sowing densities under different environmental conditions. Three wheat genotypes NS 40, Prima and Nova Bosanka were studied at seven different sowing densities (384, 424, 451, 504, 544, 588 and 604 seeds m-2) with four replications on experimental plot of one m2 on field experiment in agro‒ecological conditions of Banja Luka during two successive growing seasons. In all studied wheat cultivars, the lowest number of spikes m-2 and the lowest grain yield were found on variant of lowest sowing density (384 seeds m-2), while the highest number of spikes m-2 and the highest grain yield were found on variant of 588 seeds m-2 in both years. The wheat genotype NS 40S had the highest number of spikes m-2, while Nova Bosanka had the lowest at all variants of sowing densities in both years. Mainly, at all variants of sowing densities, the highest values of analyzed traits were expressed in first year of experimental investigation. Depending of year and variant of sowing density the highest grain yield were found in NS 40 and Prima, while the lowest grain yield had Nova Bosanka in both years of experiment. In general, the recommended wheat sowing rates should be confirmed in the specific area of production and for the specific genotype.
