Abstract

The effect of foliar application of organic compounds with magnetically treated water was studied on yield and yield components of bread wheat in a factorial trial based on a Randomized Complete Block Design in Research Farm of Urmia in 2016 growing season. The first factor was devoted to organic compounds including Aminolforte (2:1000), Kadostim (0.5:1000), urban compost and cattle manure (both with the ratio of 5%) and the second factor was devoted to irrigation water type including tap water and magnetically treated water (both at the rate of 20 l m-2) in three replications. Results showed that organic compounds and water type significantly influenced the number of fertile spikes, 1000-grain weight, grain yield, days to spike emergence, days to physiological maturity, plant height, and the number of grains per spike. Means comparison showed that among organic compounds, Aminolforte had the strongest effect so that it was associated with the highest grain yield of 5758 kg ha-1 that was about 29% higher than that of control. The application of magnetically treated water vs. tap water changed all traits significantly. The interaction between organic compounds and water type was significant for days to spike emergence and days to physiological maturity.
