| Abstract | ||||
| To determine the most important stages for skipping (withholding) irrigation, Investigate the role of silicon and irrigation rates in alleviating water stress effect on improving wheat production in the much critical stages, and Investigation the effect of K-silicate as an anti-stress substance on wheat under drought stress has been investigated, a field factorial experiment on wheat was carried out during the 2021–2022 growing season. Six treatments make up the first factor. The following treatments were used: I0 no skipping; I1 skipping at tillering (20 days after seeding "AS"); and I2 skipping at the vegetative stage (45 days AS). I3 skips flowering (60 days AS), I4 skips milk (90 days AS), and I5 skips the dough stage (110 days AS). Two Si treatments were performed: S1 normal Si and S2 Nano dose (2, 4, and 6 mLSiL-1) spray solutions of D1, D2, and D3. Plants treated with K silicate produced yields ranging from 6.116 from S1D1I1 to 8.615 from S2D3I0, representing increases of 3.6 to 45.9%, respectively, over the non-Si treatments' average yield. Plants not getting silicates produced grain yields of I1 (withholding irrigation during tillering) and I0 (without withholding), which ranged in size from 5.045 to 6.175 Mgha-1, respectively. Plants that received silicates produced grain yields that ranged from 5.413 from S1C1I1 to 8.279 from S2C3I0, a growth of 52.95%. The main consequence of the Nano application is a rise of 5.04%. I1 (skipping at tillering) had the lowest yield of all the irrigation methods, producing 5.958 Mgha-1. The greatest was I0, which produced 7.926 Mgha-1, an increase of 33.03%, with no irrigation being withheld. Following is a list of the main effects of irrigation I1 > I5 > I6> I4 > I3 > I2. It can be concluded that S2 Nano dose at 6 mLSiL-1 might be used as an anti-stress substance otherwise regardless of the critical wheat growth stages without any further effects on the yield. Moreover, tillering is the most critical wheat growth stage, so it is not recommended to withhold irrigation, especially in this stage. | ||||
