Abstract
 

Crop production under field conditions decrease by several abiotic stresses including water stress. An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of foliar application of Zinc (Zn) on growth and yield of heat tolerant wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. BARI ghom25) under water stress conditions. Treatments comprised of four water stress (control, skipping one irrigation at crown root initiation (CRI) stage, skipping one irrigation at booting, and heading and flowering stage) and foliar application Zn (0.04%). The results showed that irrigation skipping at CRI stage affected the growth and yield whereas irrigation skipping at both booting, and heading and flowering stage did not effect. Foliar application of Zn could mitigate the adverse effects of water stress at CRI stage and irrigation skipping at both booting, and heading and flowering stage also affected growth and yield of wheat. It is suggest that BARI ghom25 appeared to be sensitive to water shortage during CRI stage and foliar application of Zn could mitigate the adverse effects on growth and yield caused by water stress at CRI stage.
