Abstract

 Two field experiments were carried out during the winter seasons of 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 to investigate the effect of some organic compounds (methanol, Ethanol, ethephon and salicylic acid) as a foliar application on wheat plant. The treatments were arranged in a complete randomized block design with three replicates.  All treatments were added three times at 30, 45 and 60 days after sowing.  Plant height, leaf area, 100 grain weight, grain yield (kg fed-1), straw yield (kg fed-1), biological yield, harvest index, N, K, P content and uptake were determined. The obtained results revealed that all used treatments significantly affected the above parameters.The results also show that the treatments of ethephon reduce plant height compared with control treatment, while the treatments of 10% methanol, 100 ppm and 200 ppm salicylic acid significantly increased plant height. The treatments of 10 % ethanol, 100 ppm and 200 ppm salicylic acid significantly enhanced the weight of 100 grains compared with control in both season. The highest grain yield values (2091.26 and 2300.39 kg fed-1) were found with the treatment of 200 ppm salicylic in both seasons. While,the best flag leaf area and straw yield values in both seasons were recorded with 10% methanol. On the other hand,the highest nitrogen percent and protein content in grain was recorded with 0.25g/Lethephon. Data also shows thatall used treatments significantly increased the nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus uptake by grains (kg fed-1)and the best results were found with the treatment of 200 ppm salicylic acid.Finally, the results suggested that foliar application of 200 ppmsalicylic acidenhanced wheat plant production and nutrients uptake.
