Abstract

In order to study the effect of various irrigation water levels and fertilizers on water use efficiency, yield and seed protein content, a two year field experiment was conducted in agricultural and natural resources research station of Broujerd. Experiment was carried out in a split split plot design in three replicate. Main plot was involved three irrigation water levels (I0=4000, I1=5000, I2=6000 m3) and three levels of fertilizer including F1=NPK+M, F2=NPK+1.3M and F3=NPK + 0.7M are allocated to sub plot. M means microelement consumption including iron, zinc, manganese, copper and boron. Sub sub plot was allocated to three wheat cultivar including Marvdasht, M -75-7, M -75-10. Two years results of studied treatments showed that highest seed yield is related to M-75-10 cultivar; highest water use efficiency is related to Marvdasht cultivar and highest protein content is related to M-75-7 cultivar.
