The study was conducted during the winter season 2019/2020 at Al-Qurna (Al-Sharesh) which is about 65 kilometers north of the Basra governorate center to study the effect four concentrations of salicylic acid (0, 60, 120, 180 mg L -1 ), and four concentrations of tryptophan acid (0, 60, 120, 180 mg L -1 ), the yield and quality of bread wheat (Buhooth-22 variety). Experiment conducted as a factorial (4 × 4) according to Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates. The results showed that concentration of120 mg L -1 salicylic achieved the highest number of spikes (603 spikes m -2 ), number of grains spike (44.82 grain spike -1 ), weight of 1000 grain (37.10 g), grain yield (6.12 µg ha -1 ), chlorophyll content in the Flag leaf (475.00 mg m -2 ), grain protein (14.31%), dry gluten (33.03%) and wet gluten (12.99%). Also concentration of 120 mg L -1 tryptophan achieved the highest number of spikes (622 spikes m -2 ), number of grains spike (43.70 grain spike -1 ), grain yield (5.93 µg ha -1 ), chlorophyll content in the Flag leaf (485.30 mg m -2 ) protein in grains (14.78%), dry gluten (34.05%) and wet gluten (13.37%). The interaction was significant; plants that sprayed with S 2 T 2 were superior in all study characteristics. We conclude that it is possible to spray salicylic acid and tryptophan at a concentration of 120 mg L -1 to the wheat crop to improve the yield and quality of wheat grains at the lowest costs and reduce the environmental pollution resulting from the use of a large amount of chemical fertilizers.
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.
