Abstract

The use of high nitrogen doses, associated with the application of growth reducers, can be an alternative to wheat plants express high productive potential without the occurrence of lodging. For this reason, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of trinexapac-ethyl growth reducer associated with high and split nitrogen fertilization on yield and its components in wheat cultivar BRS 220. The experimental design was randomized blocks with two treatment and four replications, compose with the application of 110 kg N ha-1 with or without 0,4 g L-1 of trinexapac-ethyl. It was evaluated yield and its components, stem diameter, length of internode, plant height and stem length and the averages were submitted to Student t-test using Systat 13®. The application of the growth retardant contributed to a significant increase in yield and stem diameter of the plants, besides the reduction of height and length of stem and internode, when compared to the treatment without product application.
