Abstract:

An experiment was carried out in Jinzhong, Shanxi in 2019-2020 to determine the ideal nitrogen application rate and to demonstrate the differences in the matter transfer of several black wheat varieties. The study examined the effects of four nitrogen application rates (0, 180, 240, and 300 kg/ha) on the plant matter transfer and grain protein contents of Donghei 1 (DH1) and Zimai 8555 (ZM8555). The results indicated that applying 240 kg/ha of nitrogen to DH1 and 180 kg/ha of nitrogen to ZM8555 significantly increased the dry matter amount at maturity, post-flowering dry matter accumulation, and its contribution to grain, post-flowering nitrogen accumulation and its contribution to grain, and enhanced the ability of nitrogen absorption and utilization. Compared to other nitrogen applications, the application of 240 kg/ha of nitrogen to DH1 resulted in a significant increase in the number of spikes and 1000-grain weight, as well as a yield increase of 12%-56%, reaching up to 7691.76 kg/ha. Similarly, applying 180 kg/ha of nitrogen to ZM8555 led to a significant increase in 1000-grain weight and a yield increase of 12%-50%, reaching up to 7283.90 kg/ha. Application of 240 kg/ha of nitrogen to DH1 resulted in a significant increase in globulin, gliadin, and glutelin contents. It also led to an increase in albumin content and protein content by 4.0%-18.4%. Similarly, applying 180 kg/ha of nitrogen to ZM8555 significantly increased the contents of albumin, globulin, and gliadin proteins, it also increased glutelin content, protein content was increased by 3.3%-8.9%. In the experiment, applying 240 kg/ha of nitrogen to DH1 and 180 kg/ha of nitrogen to ZM8555 resulted in a simultaneous improvement in both yield and grain protein contents.
