Irrigations were given at 25, 50 and 75% available water in the top 60 cm soil profile. The amount of irrigation water applied at each irrigation was equivalent to 75% of the cumulative open pan evaporation. The crop was fertilized at the rate of 0, 60, and 120 kg/ha nitrogen. The ...
(DAS), moliniformin, andzearalenone(ZEA). These inhibitprotein synthesisand have immunosuppressive effects. They are responsible for depressed growth rate and reproductive problems. In large amounts, DON can also cause intestinal inflammation. Under favorable conditions,AspergillusandPenicillummay appear ...
The soil type has an average yield of 4591 kg per hectare and produces nearly 106.8 metric tons of wheat (Table 4). Also, other soil types were including 14 (loam, deep of 120 cm, medium fertility), # 5(Clay, deep of 120 cm, medium fertility), # 26 (sand, deep of 120 cm, ...
Among pathogens, rust diseases are one of the main constraints in wheat production. In Pakistan, it is the single most important food crop, contributing 72% of Pakistan's daily caloric intake with per capita consumption of around 124 kg per year, one of the highest in the world. It is ...
Wheat also adds to global water demand - with some 1000 litre per kg of grain. The unsustainable portion of the blue water footprint is particularly large in the Indus and Ganges river basins in India and Pakistan and in the north-eastern part of China [16]. Increasing water scarcity ...

In Morocco, wheat is the second most important crop after olives, with a production value of USD 850 million [10]. Its consumption has recorded a significant rise, growing from 138 kg per person in the 1960s to an average of 255 kg per person by 2016. However, the country's food self...
Improvement of grain protein content (GPC), loaf volume, and resistance to rusts was achieved in 11 Indian wheat cultivars that are widely grown in four different agro-climatic zones of India. This involved use of marker-assisted backcross breeding (MABB) for introgression and pyramiding of the...
(Supplementary TableS5). Of late, it assumes significance for widespread contamination of precious soil resources with toxic elements, and, in turn, food grown on to it due to increasing industrialization and urbanization at an alarming rate in India68. There is strong evidence that oral ingestion...
The cultivars were manually planted in plots (2.2 × 3.3 m per plot; 11 rows, 20 cm apart; plant spacing of 2 cm). The plots were arranged in randomized blocks with three replicates. Seeds of the experimental cultivars were planted in the field on October 7, 2010, and Oc...
