We stidued the samples of grain of winter wheat of soft varieties of Oriyka, Zluka, Forest song and spring durum Kharkovskaya 27 variety. Our study consisted in determining the technological and sowing parameters of wheat grains of different varieties after the 1 month of storage (after passing the post-harvest ripening) and after 12 months of storage (after infection of grain by granary weevil). After passing the post-harvest ripening, the wheat grain of all studied varieties was suitable for technological, seed and fodder purposes and grain Kharkovskaya 27 for the food purposes. After 12 months of storage, the most populated barn weevil was wheat grain of winter soft variety Forest song (more than 3000 pieces in one kilogram in obvious form and 34 % in hidden form). The least infected was grain of spring wheat durum Kharkovskaya 27 (about 500 pieces in one kilogram). The difference in the infection of the wheat grain of the studied varieties is explained by the different hardness of the grain.

SummaryChickpea yields in Israel are usually considerably lower than wheat yields under comparable conditions. This study aimed to examine the possible yield limiting factors in chickpeas. Increasing the availability of nitrogen during seed development by a pre-sowing application of nitrate or by nitrogen top dressing at the onset of flowering led to an increase in the percentage of nitrogen in the straw but had no significant effect on seed yield. Growth analysis of chickpeas and wheat grown in two adjacent field experiments revealed that during the fruiting period these crops accumulated similar amounts of dry matter. However, the proportion of total wheat dry matter accumulated in the wheat grains was twice the proportion of total chickpea dry matter accumulated in the chickpea seeds. It was concluded that the main intrinisic factor limiting the seed yield of chickpeas is the continuation of vegetative growth during the period of seed development, which reduces the amount of assimilate allocated to the seeds.Los factores restrictivos del rendimiento en el garbanzo

Fluorescein-labelled lectins from Ulex europaeus and Lotus tetragonolobus, each with a specific binding affinity for L-fucose, reacted with carbohydrate material in the root cap and surrounding the roots in the embryos of developing wheat grains. The reactions were completely inhibited by preincubation of the lectins with L-fucose and were observed throughout development of the grain from 6 days post-anthesis to physiological maturity 29 days later. These findings provide the first demonstration of the location of L-fucose in the wheat grain. Although a lectin-reactive slime or mucilage containing L-fucose has been studied by others in the roots of germinated cereal grains, particularly maize, our results demonstrate that such a mucilage already occurs around the roots prior to germination.

The influence of ozone (O3) gas on reducing the contamination with Fusarium mycotoxins in malting wheat grains was investigated. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS) and Orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Orbitrap-HRMS) were used to determine mycotoxins in wheat grains before and 40 to 130 min after the exposure to 20 mg/l O3. Pearson’s analysis (R2=0.96-0.98) showed a good correlation between the performance efficiency of both mass spectrometry quantification techniques. The concentrations of determined mycotoxins (zearalenone (ZEA): 19.5-459 µg/kg, deoxynivalenol (DON): 3,370-4,620 µg/kg, T-2 toxin: 19.5-35.4 µg/kg, and HT-2 toxin: 258-819 µg/kg) decreased notably, depending on the duration of contact with ozone. A notable elimination of ZEA, HT-2, and T-2 in wheat grain was observed: the content of these compounds was reduced on average by 58.6, 64.6, and 62%, respectively, already after 40 min of ozonation. The effect was less pronounced in the case of DON, for which the average degradation rate reached the maximum of only 25% after 130 min exposure. We conclude that ozonation for up to 130 min was effective for reducing the content of most mycotoxins determined in this study, except for DON, in contaminated grains to concentrations below the acceptable maximum levels in wheat in accordance to the EU regulations.

Recent increases in the prevalence of glyphosate-resistant (GR) Palmer amaranth mandate that new control strategies be developed to optimize weed control and crop performance. A field study was conducted in 2012 and 2013 in Jackson, TN, and in 2013 in Knoxville, TN, to evaluate POST weed management programs applied after harvest (POST-harvest) for prevention of seed production from GR Palmer amaranth and to evaluate herbicide carryover to winter wheat. Treatments were applied POST-harvest to corn stubble, with three applications followed by a PRE herbicide applied at wheat planting. Paraquat alone or mixed withS-metolachlor controlled 91% of existing Palmer amaranth 14 d after treatment but did not control regrowth. Paraquat tank-mixed with a residual herbicide of metribuzin, pyroxasulfone, saflufenacil, flumioxazin, pyroxasulfone plus flumioxazin, or pyroxasulfone plus fluthiacet improved control of regrowth or new emergence compared with paraquat alone. All residual herbicide treatments provided similar GR Palmer amaranth control. Through implementation of POST-harvest herbicide applications, the addition of 1,200 seed m−2or approximately 12 million seed ha−1to the soil seedbank was prevented. Overall, the addition of a residual herbicide provided only 4 to 7% more GR Palmer amaranth control than paraquat alone. Wheat injury was evident (< 10%) in 2012 from the PRE applications, but not in 2013. Wheat grain yield was not adversely affected by any herbicide application.

Introduction. Spring wheat yield depends largely on the wheat variety, seed quality, cultivation technology, and agro-climatic factors. It has been found that the separation of wheat seeds into fractions makes it possible to improve the quality of post-harvest processing, adjust the quality of grain depending on the intended use, and the sowing of the wheat grains divided into fractions allows increasing productivity. The aim of the article is to explore the membrane potential on the shells of wheat grains divided into fractions according to their aerodynamic properties and to compare certain membrane potential features with aerodynamic properties of these grains and the yields of selected varieties. Materials and Methods. The seeds, divided into fractions, have different sowing qualities. Biologically deficient seeds have poor germination index. The study have found that the division of seeds into fractions contributes to increasing yields, but the main indicators of quality are still germination and viability, for this reason an approach has been developed to determine the quality of wheat seeds divided into fractions. Results. This article studies the change in membrane potential of wheat seeds, divided into fractions according to their aerodynamic properties. The article presents the results of testing a new clamping electrode with a smooth surface to measure the membrane potential of wheat gains. To study the effect of the wheat variety, the aerodynamic properties of grains and yield on changes in membrane potential, we analyzed three indices: the resting potential level, time of variable potential rise to the maximum value and variable potential maximum value. Discussion and Conclusion. New informative indicators have been determined because of the two-way analysis of variance of the research results. These indicators reliably reflect the aerodynamic properties of seeds and can be used to predict yields. The use of the obtained results will allow agricultural enterprises and farms to determine the quality of post-harvest processing of wheat seeds, adjust the quality depending on the intended use, and evaluate and forecast the productivity of seeds.

Zn Concentration

We examined the effects of zinc (Zn) fertilization on wheat, focusing on yield and biofortification in the grains of two wheat varieties. Five Zn rates, i.e., 0, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 kg ha<sup>−1</sup> applied as ZnSO<sub>4</sub>·7H<sub>2</sub>O (23% Zn), and two wheat varieties, i.e., ‘BARI Gom-25’ and ‘BARI Gom-26,’ were used in the study. All plant characteristics, except 1,000-grain weight and plant height, i.e., tillers plant<sup>−1</sup>, spikes m<sup>−2</sup>, spike length, spikelets spike<sup>−1</sup>, and grains spike<sup>−1</sup>, were significantly influenced by Zn fertilization. Treatment with 3.0 kg Zn ha<sup>−1</sup> (Zn<sub>3.0</sub>) produced the highest grain yield (3.90 t ha<sup>−1</sup>), which was statistically similar to Zn<sub>4.5</sub> and Zn<sub>6.0</sub> treatments. The control treatment (Zn<sub>0</sub>) produced the lowest grain yield (2.99 t ha<sup>−1</sup>). The concentrations of N, Zn, and Fe were significantly and positively influenced by Zn treatment. The crop varieties did not differ significantly in terms of N and Zn concentrations. However, the grain Fe concentration was remarkably higher in ‘BARI Gom-26’ than in ‘BARI Gom-25.’ The grain N and protein concentrations increased linearly with the Zn application rate. The grain Zn concentration increased with Zn application rates in a quadratic line, indicating that the concentration of Zn in wheat grain increased with Zn fertilization; however, it attained a maximum value in the Zn<sub>4.5</sub> treatment, after which it declined with higher rate of Zn application. The application of Zn at the rate of 4.5 kg ha<sup>−1</sup> resulted in the highest Zn fortification (39.7 µg g<sup>−1</sup>) in wheat grains, which was 17.1% higher than in the control treatment. The response curve showed that 4.62 kg ha<sup>−1</sup> for ‘BARI Gom-25’ and 3.94 kg ha<sup>−1</sup> for ‘BARI Gom-26’ were the optimum Zn rates for achieving higher wheat grain yield. However, 5.5 kg ha<sup>−1</sup> was the optimum Zn rate for obtaining higher Zn fortification in wheat grains.

Adults of laboratory populations of granary weevil (S. granarius), rice weevil (S. oryzae) and maize weevil (S. zeamais) were exposed at the temperature of 50?C to determine lethal time (parameters LT20, LT50 and LT99) and progeny production/reduction in F1 generation at mentioned temperature. For each exposure and each species 25 adults aged 2-5 weeks, in four replicates, were used. In the first treatment, the insects were exposed for 6, 10, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 26 and 30 min in plastic dishes (V=200 cm3) with 1.8 ? 0.2g of untreated coarse wheat. In the second treatment, in dishes with 100 g of untreated wheat grain the adults were exposed for 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 165 and 180 min. After the exposure, the adults were placed in 100 g of untreated wheat grain, in four replicates, at 25 ? 1?C and 60 ? 5% r.h., for recovery. After one, two and seven days of recovery, the weevils were separated by sifting of wheat, and the mortality was determined, and after total period of eight weeks from the exposure of parents, the effect on progeny in F1 generation was determined. Lethal time for weevils was determined by probit analysis, and progeny production/reduction by analysis of variance. After weevils exposure in coarse wheat and after one, two and seven days of recovery, S. oryzae adults were the most susceptible (LT50 12.48-13.68 min), and the most tolerant were adults of S. granarius (LT50 17.79-20.89 min). After insects exposure in wheat grain, the most susceptible were S. granarius and S. oryzae (LT50 107.11-120.73 min), and the most tolerant S. zeamais (LT50 139.90-155.35 min). After exposure of parents of all three weevil species, in coarse wheat, progeny reduction at 100% level is after 22 min. However, after exposure of parents of all three weevil species in wheat grain, progeny reduction at 100% level in S. granarius is after 130 min, in S. oryzae after 150 min, and at 99.7% level in S. zeamais after 180 min. The investigations indicated that short-term exposure of weevils from Sitophilus genus at the temperature of 50?C adversely affects their survival and progeny production, as well as that there is a potential for its successful use as a physical measure in control of storage pest insects.
