To study the effects of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and yield components of cultivars of rainfed wheat a study was done in the crop year 2012-2013 as factorial in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications, in 2 research stations of Kohne Kand city in Bojnord and Shirvan dryland research station. The treatments of study contain cultivars of wheat in 4 levels (Rasad, Sabalan, Cross Sabalan and Azar 2) and 4 levels of nitrogen fertilizer (75, 50, 25 and 0 kilograms nitrogen per hectare). The results showed that the yield in Shirvan was significantly higher than that in Bojnoord. Moreover, the impact of cultivar and nitrogen on yield and yield components was significant in both regions and among different cultivars Azar 2 has the highest yield in both regions and the lowest yield was for cross Sabalsn in Shirvan and Sabalan in Bojnoord. Furthermore, yield increased by increasing the nitrogen in both regions but there was no significant difference between levels 50 and 75 kilograms per hectare. Among yield components except the number of spikes per square meter, others had a high correlation with yield.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
