Effect of Foliar Fertilizer as Seed Pre-treatment on Yield Components in Common Wheat Triticum aestivum L.

Abstract

Aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of foliar fertilizer as seed pre-treatment at different concentrations and times to the yield components in the İkizce 96 common wheat Triticum aestivum L under field conditions of Central Anatolia in a split-split plot design with four replications during 1998-99 and 1999-2000 at the University of Ankara, Faculty of Agriculture, Haymana Research and Application Farm, Ankara, Turkey. According to results; plant height, spike length, number of spikes; number of spikelets; number of grain and 1000-grain weight traits showed a positive and statistically significant increasing over the control.In the study, used pre-treatments regimes resulted in improved wheat seed germination and helped to balancing the nutrients at the beginning of growth. Obtained variations in the investigated traits may be explained with the effect of pre-treatment times. Generally, a 10 minutes pretreatment S1 with 1% concentration C1 have been showed that the optimum effect for increasing yield during the first year and all obtained data have been displayed rather stable and higher for second year in the study; but, none of all the parameters have been effected in next year. Foliar fertilizer method as a seed pre-treatment has a potential that can be apply cheap, practical, quick and helper for a healthy first development for the common wheat cultivation in Central Anatolia
