Analysis of Morphological Trait and Yield Components of Mutant Wheat under Different Levels of Nitrogen

Abstract

In order to evaluate the reaction of yield and yield components of wheat's mutant lines to different levels of nitrogen in the crop year of 2006-2007, an experiment was conducted as factorial based on completely randomized block design in 4 replicates in the Research Farm of Agricultural, Medical and Industrial Research School in Zaferaniyeh-Karaj-Iran the first factor included 5 genotypes of wheat (Tabasi-the maternal entity, T-65-7-1, T-65-5-1, T-6-67-60, T-65-58-8) and the second factor consisted of 4 levels of nitrogen (100, 140, 180 and 220 kg ha(-1) urea 46%). The result showed that grain's yield harvest index, number of grain/spike in mutant lines and their parent had significant difference (p < 0.01) in mutant genotypes, meanwhile, the biological yield and the number of spike m2 were not significant difference (p < 0.05). The harvest index, number of grains per spike, grain's yield, biologic yield and number of spikes m(-2), weight of 1000 grains didn't affected by applying different levels of nitrogen fertilizer.
