Abstract:In order to explore effects of different sowing methods and seeding rates on grain yield of winter wheat,yield composition,protein content,component content and processing quality,we took quality and high yield wheat variety ‘Xinong 20’as material,three different sowing methods (drill-sowing,wide-row sowing and hole-sowing) and four different seeding rates (112.5 kg/hm2,150 kg/hm2,187.5 kg/hm2,225 kg/hm2) were set in this study.The results showed that compared with drill -sowing and hole-sowing,the wide-row sowing significantly increased the grain yield by 6.33% and 6.85%,respectively,and its yield increased with the increase of the seeding rates,the highest yield was 225 kg/hm2 .The major reason for increase of the yield was caused by increase of available spike numbers per hectare.Compared the hole-sowing with conventional drill-sowing and wide-row sowing,the protein contents significantly increased by 6.34% and 2.83%,respectively and the albumin,globulin,gluten and gluten ratios were the highest under treatment of hole-sowing.With the increase of seeding rate,the contents of protein components showed the trend to increase first,and then decrease,the component content and glutanol ratio reached its maximum of 187.5 kg/hm2.The wet gluten content,sedimentation value and ductility under treatment of hole-sowing in the open field significantly improved compared with treatment of drill-sowing,and there were no significant differences in the time of dough development and dough stability between all treatments; the wet gluten content,sedimentation value and ductility,longest dough development and dough stability time were greatest at 112.5 kg/hm2,which were significantly higher than that of other seeding rates.In summary,increase of seeding rate and wide-row sowing are beneficial to increase yield of wheat grains,hole-sowing is helpful to improve protein and protein component contents and processing qualities.So proper increase of seeding rate can increase protein and protein component contents,but reduce the wet gluten content,sedimentation value and ductility,and also can shorten the dough development time and dough stability time,hence it is not conducive to improve the processing qualities. |
