Control Genotype

Increased crop competitiveness may complement existing weed control methods. The objective of this research was to establish whether spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes with contrasting competitive abilities respond differently to weed control levels. Four sibling genotypes differing in competitive ability were grown under simulated weedy conditions and subjected to four weed control levels. The competitive genotypes were superior to the less-competitive genotypes in grain yield under weedy and partially weedy conditions. Key words: Triticum aestivum L., competition, weed control, genotype × weedcontrol interaction

Positive Correlation

AbstractFifteen wheat genotypes were grown under water deficit to ascertain the role of osmotic adjustment (OA) and the concentration of benzoxazinones in sustaining grain yield. A positive correlation between osmotic adjustment capacity and yield was observed in wheat genotypes cultivated under field conditions. The weight gain of plants exposed to drought was in agreement with the OA values (R2 = 0.93). However, when wheat plants were infested by cereal aphids, this correlation was not found. The benzoxazinones 2,4-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoxazin- 3-one (DIBOA) and 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4 benzoxazin-3-one (DIMBOA) are defensive secondary metabolites present in wheat and others cereals. The content of these compounds varied in wheat genotypes and increased with drought and aphid infestation. A positive correlation between weight gain of irrigated-infested plants and drought-infested plants and the contents of benzoxazinones was observed. These results suggest that plants with better OA capacity and high benzoxazinone content should have better field yields.
