Abstract
In addition to enhancing wheat's photosynthesis, growth and ability to cope with stress, the foliar application of zinc and iron can play an effective role in improving consumer nutrition. Therefore, the aim of this study was investigation of zinc and iron foliar application in irrigation water acidity on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). This experiment was conducted as a triple factorial using a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in Tehran, Iran in 2014-15 and 2015-16. The treatments were two irrigation water acidity (pH value = 8.14 and 5), and the foliar application of iron and zinc sulfate (0, 2.5, and 5 g L -1 ). The results revealed that the most grain yield was produced at a pH value = 5, with 5 g L -1 zinc application. The main cause for increasing the grain yield was enhancement of spike length, tillers and grains per plant. The greatest grain protein content was measured at a pH value = 5, with a 5 g L -1 zinc application. The maximum grain iron content was calculated at a pH value = 5, with 5 g L -1 zinc usage. The highest grain zinc content was obtained at a pH value = 5, with 5 g L -1 zinc consumption. The maximum zinc utilization efficiency was observed for the iron control treatment with 5 g L -1 zinc consumption. Therefore, the treatments that were irrigated with water with an acidic pH of 5 along with 5 g L -1 zinc and iron foliar application had the highest yield and the best qualitative traits.
