Effects of copper sulfateand nitrogen applications in the increasing doses on the yield and root and root crown rot disease of bread wheat

This study was carried out to determine the effects of in the increasing dozes of copper sulfate (CS; CuSO4.5H2O; 35% Cu) and nitrogen applications on the yield and yield components, root and root crown disease of Quality variety bread wheat grown in a farmer field with spring irrigation in Değirmenli Town of Sarayönü District of Konya Province in 2016-2017 growing season. In the field experiment, the three block and 24 plots in each block, total 72 plots were formed. 100, 150 and 200 kg N ha-1 dozes were applied into blocks. In addition, 0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 60 kg CS ha-1 dozes were given into each block as four replications. According to the results, the highest wheat yield (4.050 kg ha-1) was obtained from '150 kg N ha-1 + 40 kg CS ha-1' dozes. In addition, the root and root crown diseases were not seen in the 20 kg CS ha-1 doze and more high dozes in the 100 kg N ha-1 block. The same diseases were not determined in the 40 kg CS ha-1 doze and more high dozes in the 150 and 200 kg N ha-1 blocks. When it was look at the effects of N dozes applied, the highest yield and yield components were obtained from 150 kg N ha-1 doze (2. block). So, 150 kg N ha-1 and 40 kg CS ha-1 dozes can be suggested in the wheat growing in the similar conditions.
