Abstract

This study explored the effects of soil acidity on vegetative growth and germination of wheat. Five wheat cultivars, two American ('Triumph 64,' 'Wakefield') and three Russian ('Mironovskaya 808,' 'Bezostaya,' and 'Inna'), were investigated for germination, growth, and dry matter accumulation under controlled conditions to eliminate the effect of environmental factors such as temperature, light, and precipitation. Soils with similar texture and various pH values were chosen for experiments. Soil was sampled from pastures where future wheat production may occur. Dry Matter Accumulation (DMA), percentage of seed germination, and height of seedlings were strongly reduced by acidic soils. The percent of wheat seeds germination (pH 4.99) for American cultivars Wakefield and Triumph 64 was 80.7 and 71.3 respectively. The percent of germination for Russian varieties was 74.0 (Mironovskaya 808), 75.6 (Bezostaya), and 77.3 (Inna) at pH 4.99. The height of seedlings for tested cultivars was always less on acidic soil (pH 4.99). Developing a wider range of wheat cultivars tested for acidic soils of southeastern Oklahoma would make a significant contribution to agriculture.
