Abstract :

To evaluate the effects of micronutrient with biofertilizer (Biosuper) on yield and some characteristics of three cultivars of winter wheat, an experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with four replicates at Research Station of Agriculture, Islamic Azad University Tabriz Branch, in 2009-2010. Treatments were cultivars of winter wheat with 3 levels (Sardari, Atila, Azar), micronutrient (manganese, boron, iron and control), and Biosuper with two levels (applied and non-applied).The results showed that the interaction of biofertilizer and micronutrient on grain yield and number of fertile tiller at level 1 and 5 percent respectively, were significant and effect of wheat cultivars on harvest index, plant height and shoot dry weight at 1 percent probability level was significant. Results of mean comparisons showed that the highest grain yield belonged to biofertilizer and manganese and the lowest was not related to fertilizer. The highest number of spikelet was by using biofertilizer in Atila. The most fertile tillers associated with the biofertilizer boron and the lowest was the lack of fertilizer.
