Abstract :
To evaluate wild barley emergence and growth affected by organic fertilizers, a factorial experiment was carried out with two-factor in a randomized complete block design with three replications and two runs in the Research Greenhouse of Faculty of Agriculture, University of Birjand in 2012. The studied factors included type of cattle manure in two levels (fresh and composted manure) and manure rate in three levels (30, 60 and 90 t.ha-1). A control treatment with no manure was also incorporated into the experiment for a better exploration of the results. The results showed that using 30, 60 and 90 t.ha-1 of cattle manure reduced the wild barley emergence percentage by about 20, 24 and 28% compared to the control, respectively. Also the interaction between the type and rate of cattle manure showed that the greatest seedling emergence was achieved where 30 t.ha-1 of fresh cattle manure was applied. Means comparison for the interaction between the type and amount of cattle manure showed that the most wild barley dry weight was obtained with the application of 30 t.ha-1of fresh manure and increasing the consumption of this type of manure to 90 t.ha-1 significantly decreased wild barley dry weight. Means comparison for all treatments including the control showed that using 60 t.ha-1 of cattle manure not only did not reduce plant dry weight compared to control, but at levels of 30 and 60 t.ha-1 of fresh manure as well as 30 t.ha-1 of
