Abstract :
This experiment was conducted in order to investigate the effect of zinc foliar application and different levels of sulfur fertilizer on yield and wheat yield components of Baharan cultivar in 2016-2017 in Tehran Agricultural and Natural Resource Research Center. The statistical format of the design was factorial based on random complete blocks in 3 replications. The factors include sulfur fertilizer at three levels (zero, 250 and 500 kg.ha-1 from biosulfur or thiobacillus sulfur) and zinc element foliar application of zinc sulfate source (ZnSo4, 2H2o) at three levels (pure water spraying, solution Zinc spraying with a concentration of 0.5% and 1%). Zinc sulfate contained 34% pure zinc. The results showed that sulfur consumption had a significant effect on yield and quantitative components of wheat growth. The effect of consumption of this element on gluten, protein and grain content was also significant. Foliar application of zinc also had a significant effect on the weight characteristics of one thousand seeds, number of fertile tillers, grain yield, biological yield and leaf surface index. Also, all the qualitative traits of the grain were significantly affected by this element. The highest grain yield was obtained from the treatment of 500 kg of sulfur with 1% solution of zinc spraying at 6789 kg.ha-1. The combined use of biofuels and zinc increased the yield of wheat grains by 36%. The highest weight of 1000 grains was obtained from the consumption of 500 kg.ha-1 of sulfur and zinc foliar application with a concentration of 1% and a rate of 49.6 g. The maximum gluten in the grain was obtained from the consumption of 500 kg.ha-1 of sulfur and zinc foliar application with a concentration of 1%, respectively. Under the conditions of sulfur consumption, the positive effect of zinc foliar application on this trait increased. Zinc consumption increased the protein content by 10.3% and 17.7% for two concentrations of 0.5% and 1% of foliar application, respectively. The highest percentage of protein was obtained in the treatment of 500 kg.ha-1 of biofuels. The highest amount of zinc was recorded in the treatment of sulfur consumption of 500 kg.ha-1 along with 1% solution of zinc spraying at a rate of 63.30 mg.kg-1. The increase in leaf area index for both sulfur and zinc was significant compared to control.
