FATEH, Hamid  and  TOUBE, Ahmad. Wheat physiological traits response in standard and ecological agricultural systems. Earth Sci. Res. J. [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.1, pp.131-136.  Epub Oct 20, 2021. ISSN 1794-6190.  https://doi.org/10.15446/esrj.v25n1.94403.

This research was conducted on a farm of Payam-e-Noor University in Piranshahr, in West Azerbaijan province of Iran, during 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 crop sessions to investigate the wheat physiological traits response to standard and ecological agricultural systems. The experiment was conducted as a split-plot design with two factors and three replications. The first factor, which was considered the main plot, included high, low-input, and ecological agricultural systems. Subplots were seed pre-treatment, including control (without priming), hydro priming, and food priming with ascorbate. The results showed that the least photosynthesis rate and mesophilic conductance were related to low-input agricultural system; however, in the ecological system, the transpiration, substomatal carbon dioxide, and water use efficiency of photosynthesis were the lowest. Also, seed priming increased the photosynthesis rate, mesophilic conductivity, and water use efficiency of photosynthesis.

Keywords : Agricultural system; wheat; photosynthesis; cropping seasons.
