Abstract A monitoring program was conducted for trace elements in Western Canadian Hard Red Spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Samples were selected from harvest survey samples submitted by producers from crop districts in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta for 1996, 1997, and 1998 crops. The analytical quality control measures used in these surveys are described along with the results for Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Se, and Zn. Accuracy and precision for the analyses fell within the acceptable control limits. Year-to-year variations in grain chemistry were small for Cd, Mn, Se, and Zn, but Cu and Fe contents showed 12 and 9% decreases, respectively, over the 3 years. The overall variability for the plant-essential trace elements—Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn—was low compared with that for Cd and Se. The spatial variation in crop chemistry across the Canadian Prairie wheat-producing region was greater than the year-to-year variations. Soil properties were major factors in controlling Cd and Se levels in grain.

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.

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different weed control practices on weed dyanamics, nutrient uptake and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in rabi seasons of 2010-11 and 2011-12 at Crop Research Centre of SVPUAandT, Meerut. The treatments comprising pre-emergence application of pendimethalin @ 1000 g/ha, post emergence application of isoproturon @1200 g/ha, isoproturon+2,4-D @ 1200+600 g/ha, isoproturon+metsulfuron methyl @ 1200+4 g/ha, fenoxaprop -p-ethyl @ 80 g/ha, fenoxa prop -p-ethyl +2,4-D @ 80+600 g/ha, fenoxa prop -p-ethyl +metsulfuron methyl @ 80+4 g/ha, clodinafop propargyl @ 60 g/ha, clodinafop propargyl+2,4-D @ 60+600 g/ha and clodinafop propargyl+metsulfuron methyl @ 60+4 g/ha were tested with weed free and weedy check. Among the herbicides, application of clodinafop propargyl+ metsulfuron (60+4 g/ha) though statistically on par with clodinafop propargyl+ 2,4-D (60+600 g/ha) reduced the weed population significantly than weedy check (97.2%), clodinafop propargyl alone (88.0%), fenoxaprop -p-ethyl alone (83.0%), isoproturon alone (80.0%), isoproturon+metsulfuron (72.2%), pendimethalin (71.4%), isoproturon+2,4-D (53.8%), fenoxa prop -p-ethyl +2,4-D (53.8%) and fenoxa prop -p-ethyl + metsulfuron (40.0%) at 60 days after sowing stage. Among the herbicides, application of Clodinafop propargyl+ metsulfuron methyl (60+4 g/ha) as post emergence resulted into highest grain yield of wheat (49.28q/ha) which was on par with weed free and clodinafop propargyl+2,4-D @ 60+600 g/ha but statistically significant than rest of the treatments. Highest NPK uptake by grain and straw of wheat was recorded in weed free conditions compared to the herbicidal treatments, except lodinafop propargyl+metsulfuron methyl and clodinafop propargyl+ 2, 4-D. Highest removal of NPK (63.6 kg/ha) by weeds was recorded in weedy check whereas, the minimum NPK uptake (28.4 kg/ha) was noticed with the application of clodinafop propargyl+metsulfuron methyl due to efficient control of weeds (weed control efficiency 84.7%), which resulted in lowest weed dry matter in this treatments.

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
