Carbohydrate fractions of wheat plants and grains (Cultivar gemmeiza-7) as affected by different levels of nitrogen fertilizer and uniconazole [electronic resource].

Includes references.

Two field experiments were carried out using wheat plants (cultivar Gemmeiza-7)at the experimental farm of Gemmeiza Agriculture Research Station, during two successive winter seasons 200112002 and 200212003. The effect of three levels of nitrogen fertilizer (35, 70 and 105 kg nitrogen/fed.) and foliar application of the growth retardant uniconazole (0, 50 and 100 ppm) on carbohydrate fraction of wheat plants was studied. The obtained data indicated that increasing nitrogen fertilizer levels, decreased carbohydrate fractions significantly. Carbohydrate fractions increased significantly with increasinguniconazole concentration from 0 up to 100 ppm.
