Evaluating the Varied Effects of Micronutrients on Wheat Varity TJ-83 Cultivation in Tando Jam

Abstract

In Pakistan, wheat is a staple food crop and this field experiments were department of agronomy at SAU Tando Jam. The present study revealed significant variations in the growth and yield of the wheat variety TJ-83. The extreme values were observed under treatment T9 (1750g ha-1), including a plant height of 95.50 cm, tillers at 325.00 m-2, spike length of 11.75 cm, grains per spike totaling 47.00, the weight of grain per spike at 2.50 g, seed index (1000 grain weight) of 48.00 g, a biological yield of 11960 kg ha-1, a grain yield of 5780 kg ha 1, and a harvest index of 48.90%. Following closely, treatment T7 (1500 g ha-1) exhibited a plant height of 94.80 cm, tillers at 320.00 m-2, spike length of 11.60 cm, grains per spike amounting to 47.80, weight of grain per spike at 2.45 g, seed index (1000-grain weight) of 47.80 g, biological yield of 11900 Kg ha-1, grain yield of 5680 Kg ha-1, and a harvest index of 47.90%. Conversely, the lowest values were recorded in the control group (T1 = No fertilizer), with a plant height of 70.10 cm, tillers at 240.10 m-2, spike length of 8.06 cm, grains per spike totalling 30.80, the weight of grain per spike at 1.40 g, seed index (1000-grain weight) of 32.10 g, biological yield of 7125 kg ha1, grain yield of 2920 kg ha1, and a harvest index of 40.80%.. The results suggest that enriching the soil with micronutrients significantly enhances wheat production.
