Abstract

Wheat is one of the most important crop. Which is cultivated in whole world. It belongs to Poaceae family. An experiment was performed to check the effect of foliar application of benzoic acid on growth and production of wheat. This experiment was conducted according to complete randomized design. Three treatments of benzoic acid (100 ml/L, 200 ml/L and 400 ml/L) were used. Data was recorded for plant height, number of tillers/m2, flag leaf area, spike length, number of grains/spike and plant dry weight/m2. Then data was analyzed by ANOVA and mean values of each treatment were compared by using Fisher’s LSD. The results showed that foliar use of benzoic acid at 200 ml/L provided the best results for all traits (number of tillers/m2, flag leaf area, spike length, number of grains/spike and plant dry weight/m2) except plant height. Foliar application of benzoic acid at 200 ml/L greatly enhance the growth and yield in wheat. This was because of increase in auxin production or increase in cell division. While height was the only trait which was gradually decreased with the increase of benzoic acid level.

叶面喷施苯甲酸对小麦生长和产量的影响

小麦是最重要的农作物之一。全世界都有种植。它属于菊科。本实验旨在检测叶面喷施苯甲酸对小麦生长和产量的影响。实验采用完全随机设计法。使用了三种苯甲酸处理（100 毫升/升、200 毫升/升和 400 毫升/升）。实验记录了株高、分蘖数/平方米、旗叶面积、穗长、粒数/穗和植株干重/平方米等数据。然后对数据进行方差分析，并用费雪 LSD 比较各处理的平均值。结果表明，叶面喷施 200 毫升/升的苯甲酸对除株高以外的所有性状（分蘖数/平方米、旗叶面积、穗长、粒数/穗和植株干重/平方米）都有最好的效果。叶面喷施 200 毫升/升的苯甲酸可大大提高小麦的生长和产量。这是因为辅助素产量增加或细胞分裂增加。而株高是唯一随着苯甲酸水平的增加而逐渐降低的性状。
