Examining the Quantitative properties of Durum Wheat


Abstract

The current study aims to examine the quantitative properties of durum wheat. The experiment was carried out on a plot of land with an area of 1600 square meters. After the initial land preparation and implementing the land plan, furrows were made in the land by a groove maker. The length of grooves was 60 cm and they made along the land perpendicular on irrigation direction and then, test plan was prepared. The plot inside each replicate was equal to the number of treatments which is 20. Each plot consisted of 6 planting lines with a distance of 30 cm and dimensions of 1.5 × 6 m. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and mean of treatments compared using Duncan's multiple range test method. Calculations were performed using MSTATC and SAS software and graphs were drawn using EXCEL software. The results showed that the number of ears per square meter had a significant effect in the plan. Moreover, there was a significant difference (p < 0.01) between the studied genotypes in terms of plant height. There was no statistical difference in the number of tillers between the studied cultivars and genotypes. Moreover, a significant difference was observed between the average 1000-seed weight of cultivars and genotypes at the statistical level of 0.01. There was a statistically significant difference between the means of leaf area index measured for the studied genotypes at the statistical level of 0.01. According to the results, there was a significant difference between the mean grain yield of the studied cultivars at the statistical level of 0.01.
