Abstract
In small-plot and field trials with 4 cv.of spring wheat and 1 cv.of winter wheat, CCC was applied as foliar spray or as seed treatment in 1970—1972.In all trials, the application of CCC reduced the stem length and increased the number of ears per plant and the number of grains per ear.The dry weight of grains per ear and the 1000-grain weight were also increased.The final grain yield of the treated plots was 6—31% higher than that of the controls.Application of CCC caused a marked in- crease in total dry weight of the plant and a greater proportion of their total dry matter concentrated in grains than that of the control plants. Increase in dry weight of the grain was closely correlated with the change in dry weight of the leaf and stem.The dry weight of the leaf and stem actually increased at the beginning of the filling period,while the increase in dry weight of the grain was at a low rate.When the increase in grain dry weight reached its maximum about 18—30 days after anthesis,the amount of materials lost from the leaf and stem was also the greatest.The increase in grain dry weight of the CCC treated plants was less than that of the control plants during the first half of the filling period.As the maximum rate of grain dry weight increment approached,however,the increase in grain dry weight of the CCC treated plants rose to much higher rate than that of the controls,and such a high level of increment was maintained by the treated plants until maturity.The total dry matter lost from the leaf of the treated plants was also greater than that from the controls.These results indicated that an important effect of CCC on wheat is to promote the accumulation of materials in grains during the later stage of the filling period.
