Accumulation and Partitioning of Dry Mattera and Nutrients In Wheat

A pot experiment was conducted to study the dry matter and nutrients accumulation pattern in wheat (GW-496) on clayey soil (vertic ustochrept) of Sagadividi Research Farm, College of Agriculture,Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh. The maximum dry matter in plant (60.0 %) was accumulated during grain filling stage. Wheat straw showed higher accumulation of dry matter and nutrients, followed by grain and ischolar_mains. The removal of nutrients was recorded in the ranges of 5.2 to 13.6, 32.5 to 59.4 and 27.7 to 62.1 per cent to the its total requirement of different nutrients during vegetative, reproductive and grain filling stages, respectively. The peak absorption of N,K,P and Zn during grain filling stage, while that of Ca,Fe and Cu during reproductive stage and P,S and Mn almost equally during reproductive and grain filling stage.
