Effects of micronutrients (Fe, Zn and Mn) on quality and quantities yield of Hamoon cultivar wheat in Sistan area

To determine the effects of Fe, Zn and Mn micronutrients on the quantitative and qualitative yield of wheat (cv. Hamoon), an experiment was conducted at Agricultural and natural resources research center of Sistan during 2003-4. Using RCBD with four replications. Treatments were Fe, Zn, Mn, Fe+Zn, Fe+Mn, Zn+Mn, Fe+Zn+Mn and control (no micronutrients). The results showed foliar application of these micronutrients increase grain yield but did not have significantly effect on it. However mean comparison indicated that Zn application increased total grain yield from 4334 to 4888 kg/ha. Foliar application of micronutrients expects % N had not significantly effects on the %P and %K content of seeds. The results indicate that micronutrient had not significantly effects on grain yield but by improving condition for growth and yield components they can increase quality and quantities of yield.
