The aim of this experiment was to know the effects of different levels of magnesium and phosphorus fertilizers and their interaction on growth and yield of wheat in two different soils. The study included a biological experiment (planting in plastic pots) involved four magnesium levels: 0, 30, 60, and 90 Kg.h-1; as magnesium sulfate, four levels of phosphorus: 0, 40, 80, and 160 Kg.h-1; as triple superphosphate fertilizer and two different soil texture: clay loam (S1) and sand (S2), were used. The wheat cultivar was Ibaa99 and Complete Random Design was used including four levels of both magnesium and phosphorus and two soils with three replicates.
The results were as the followings:
Increasing the level of Mg addition led to a significant increment in all wheat growth and yield studied indicators: plant height, yield of straw and grains, total yield, and the weight of 100 grains; 90 Kg Mg.h-1 achieved higher increment, in previous indicators, , 14.71, 11.60, 26.31 g.pot-1 and 3.32 g, respectively. So Significantly, increasing added P led increment in all plant indicators at 80 Kg P.h-1 in which were, 19.41, 16.07 and 35.49 mg.pot-1 and 3.42 g for, straw and grain yield, total yield and the weight of 100 grains, respectively. |
