Opis

Wheat is a staple crop which is mostly consumed in our daily diets and which gives us essential nutrients. In this research, two experiments were conducted. In first experiment, small pots was used and recommended doses of NPK fertilizers. Harvesting was done within 1 month and root imaging take for observing root architecture. Another experiment consisted of field research in which three treatments was given in the form of foliar application. Three treatments include, one is Control; one is GA 3 and third is K fertilizer. The concentration was used for GA 3is 150 ppm and for K is 2% of K 2 SO 4 . This application affect different growth parameters of the wheat plant like plant height (cm), chlorophyll content, fresh shoot weight (mg), dry shoot weight (mg), spike length (cm), number of spikes plant -1 , number of spikelet's spike -1 , numbers of grain spike -1 and total biomass. These experiments was conducted to observe the root architecture such as seminal roots and the length, number and diameter of lateral roots and also to examine the influence of different levels of GA 3 and Potassium on growth parameters, morphological, yield and yield contributing character wheat.

O autorze

Sharif, MisbahMy education in all courses of botany influenced my approach to my researches. I achieved academic success in multiple areas of biology. I am passionate about plants. Since receiving my Bachelor degree and Master's degree, much of my time has been spent working in a field unrelated to science. However, I have made effort to further my education.
