Abstract

In order to study the effects different treatments of priming on yield and yield components of rainfed wheat, a field experimental was carried with three replications in the Research Station of Islamic Azad University, Arak Branch, Iran in 2014. The experimental treatments were control, seed priming with distillate water, priming with rates of 1, 2 and 3 mg l-1 Se alone and along with foliar application of distillate water and selenium. The result showed seed priming with 1 and 2 mg l-1 Se along with foliar application of selenium increased seedling emergence percentage by 47.64 and 41.5% as compared with control, respectively. The maximum number of grain per spike) was obtained from seed priming with 2 mg l-1 Se along with foliar application of Se, That was increased number of grain per spike by 18.2% as compared with control. The maximum of 1000 grain weight was record for foliar application with distillate water. Seed priming with 2 mg l-1 Se along with foliar application of Se increased 1000 grain weight by 9.4% as compared with control. Seed priming with 1 and 2 mg l-1 Se along with foliar application of Se and priming with distillate water along with foliar application of selenium increased grain yield by 16.7, 19 and 17.9% as compared with control.
