Abstract :
This experiment was conducted in the form of a split-plot design based on randomized complete blocks in the research farm of Karaj Agriculture University of Tehran at 2013 to 2014. The main plot was seed pre-treatment with thiamine including as no seed pre-treatment (control), seed pre-treatment with 12.5 μM thiamine for 12 hours, and sub-plot was foliar application of thiamine in different growth stages including: no spraying (control), tillering, stemming, spiking, milking, tillering with stemming, tillering with spiking. The results showed that seed yield in most of the studied treatments increased significantly due to the exogenous application of thiamine compared to the control (No pre-treatment and no spraying of thiamine). That can be caused by improvement of parameters such as the number of fertile tillers, the number of infertile tillers and the weight of 1000 grains. But exogenous application of thiamine in most of the treatments did not to improve qualitative parameters such as grain protein, zinc content, ascorbic acid, Zeleni number and grain hardness degree compared to the control (No pre-treatment and no spraying of thiamine). Also, in parameters such as the amount of phytic acid and the molar ratio of phytic acid/zinc, exogenous application of thiamine had a negative effect in most treatments compared to the control (No pre-treatment and no spraying of thiamine). It should be mentioned that due to the lack of influence of the of wheat quality from the exogenous application of thiamine, which is caused by the optimal condition of nutritional requirements, only the quantitative of yield has been considered in expressing the final result. To recommendation the exogenous application of thiamine on grain yield, this experiment needs to be repeated. If there was no significant difference between some of the studied treatments in terms of grain yield, but with considering the issues of economic production in no pre-treatment of seeds and spraying at tillering with stemming were superior to others due to higher yield. Moreover, it can be recommended for Sirvan cultivar in Karaj region and similar regions in terms of climate.
