Response of Wheat Plants Grown on Alluvial and Sandy Soils to some Beneficial Elements. إستجابة نبات القمح النامي على أراضي رسوبية ورملية لبعض العناصر المفيدة

Abstract

A pots experiment was executed aim to evaluate the influence of Co, Ni, Fe, Mo and B at different rates(0.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 mg L -1 )with different application methods(foliar application and soil addition)on the performance of wheat plants grown on alluvial and sandy soils.Plant performance at periods of 30 and 60 days from sowing expressed in plant height, fresh and dry weights and N, P, K content in straw as well as the nutrient status of grains (N, P, K) and other characteristics at harvest stage i.e., spike length and weight and No. of tillers plant -1 were evaluated. The superior beneficial element was Ni compared to other studied elements, while Mo came in the second-order followed by Co then Fe and lately B. All studied elements, except B, caused improve plant performance which was enhanced as the added rate of these elements increased (either with foliar or soil additions).Regarding plants received B either with foliar or soil additions, the values of all studied traits significantly increased with increasing B rate from 0.0 mg L -1 to 2.5 and 5.0 mg L -1 and then significantly decrease at 10.0 mg L -1 due to appearing B toxicity. Foliar application method was most effective than soil addition method. Performance of plants grown on alluvial soil was better than that of plants grown on sandy soil. Generally, it can be concluded that Ni may have a vital role in N fixation more than other studied elements and this was reflected on wheat plant growth.

The Co-Addition of Soil Organic Amendments and Natural Bio-Stimulants Improves the Production and Defenses of the Wheat Plant Grown under the Dual stress of Salinity and Alkalinity

“…Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the second most important food crop in Egypt which remains the world's largest wheat importer (Elzemrany et al, 2021). Wheat grains contain protein of 6-21%, minerals of 1.8%, the starch of 60-68%, cellulose of 2.0-2.5% and fats of 1.5-2.0% (El-Ghamry et al, 2021 andGhazi et al, 2022).…”

Evaluating Nanotechnology in raising the efficiency of some substances used in fertilizing wheat grown on sandy soil.

“…Wheat crop is the main winter cereal crop in all countries of the world. In Arab countries, there is an urgent need for the maximization of wheat crop production because the local production isn't sufficient to equal the annual requirements (El-Ghamry et al, 2021;Elzemrany et al, 2021 andYaylac ı , 2021). The soil addition of some conditioners to sandy soil increases the wheat productivity.…”

Effects of Mineral Fertilization, Biochar and Fulvic Acid on Sandy Soil Properties and Nutrients Uptake by Wheat Plants

“…Increasing wheat crop production is an Egyptian national target to fill the gap between its production and consumption. Therefore, great attention and efforts have been paid by the scientists who work in the agricultural field to reduce the wheat security gap (Asseng et al, 2018;El-Ghamry et al, 2021).…”
