A study on wheat crop for estimation of potassium efficiency, effect on growth, potential yield under agricultural and botanical practices

Abstract

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the important crops of human diet around the globe. Purify flour of wheat contains less vitamins and causes constipation and malnourishment. The experiment was designed to study on wheat crop, botanical and agricultural parameters and advances in plant sciences and accomplished in Randomized Complete Block Design. Sowing was done in field with plot size of 216 m2. LAI is very crucial growth index which directly controls the interception of solar radiation and consequently dry matter production and accumulation. The LAD exhibits the tenacity of leaves to remain photo synthetically active during the growth season of a crop. The NAR indicates the dry matter accumulation in plants per unit canopy area. Recorded data was subjected to analysis of variance by using Statistix 8.1 software. It presented mean values of all treatments for crop growth rate. Maximum results for CGR observed under T3 with 14.3 mean values. While minimum observations had been shown by T1 that is 13.4. It showed mean values for all applied treatments and wheat showed maximum value of leaf area index of (3.3367) under treatment (T4) and minimum value of leaf area index that is 3.0233 was shown by plants under treatment (T7). Maximum results for flag leaf area observed under T4 with 114.73 mean values. While minimum observations had been shown by T1 that is 88.03. It is recommended that the farmers should use split dose of potassium fertilizer for better growth and yield of wheat and it may also be helpful in future prospects.
