| Abstract | ||
| Field experiment was conducted during the season 2013-2014 in station of Agriculture college – Tikrit University to study the effect of different levels of phosphate and magnesium fertilizers on yield of wheat plant in gypsiferous soil. using RCBD design with two factors. The first was phosphate fertilizer which was added at four levels (0, 50 ,100 ,150 Kg P.ha-1) as TSP , while the second factor was magnesium fertilizer was added at three levels (0, 60, 120 Kg Mg.ha-1) as magnesium sulphate (MgSO4.7H2O). Result of this study indicated that the quantity of available – P and Mg in soil bedon sowing 4.22 and 9.92 mg.Kg-1 respectively and it was below the critical level for plant requirement. Application of P- fertilizer significantly increase grain yield while Mg- fertilizer significantly increase grain yield only at Mg1 level (60 Kg Mg.ha-1). maximum yield was 3246.00 Kg.ha-1 at P2Mg1 treatment. The increase in grain yield was mainly due to the number of grain.ear-1 and secondly to number of ear.m-2 and weight of 100 grain. | ||
