Abstract

Effect of Sorghum Water Extract Type, Concentration and Application Time on Weed Density and Yield of Wheat

Highlights

  • Wheat (Triticum aestivum) L. is an annual self pollinated determinate long day crop

  • Statistical analysis of the data showed that sorghum extract type (SET), Concentration(C), application time (AT), control vs. treated, hand weeding (HW) vs. control and herbicide application (HA) vs. treated have significant effect on number of weeds m-2, while all possible interactions except C x AT were non-significant (Table 1)

  • Statistical analysis of the data showed that sorghum extract type (SET), concentration (C), application time (AT), control vs. treated, hand weeding (HW) vs. treated and herbicide application (HA) vs. treated had no significant effect on grain fill duration

Summary

Introduction

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) L. is an annual self pollinated determinate long day crop. More of the earth’s surface is covered by wheat than by any other food crop. Its production is third largest cereal production in the world, after maize and rice. In terms of dietary intake, wheat comes second to rice as a main food crop. About 65 percent of the wheat crop is used for food (FAO, 2013). It is the most important cereal Hussain et al (2010) and major staple food of Pakistan Blackshaw [1], Aslam et al [2]. Wheat adds a big share towards the country’s GDP Aslam et al [2]
