Abstrakt
A field experiment was carried out in sandy soil, during two winter successive seasons
to study the impacts of different concentrations of chitosan (50, 100 & 150 mg L-1
) on several
growth parameters and biochemical changes as well as quantitative and qualitative grain yield.
Foliar treatment of chitosan significantly increased the growth parameters concurrently with an
increment in the photosynthetic pigments, total soluble sugar, proline, free amino acid total
carbohydrates, antioxidant activities, phenol, flavonoids, and some minerals nutrition of wheat
plant. Wheat plants treated with chitosan at different concentrations significantly increased
different endogenous phytohormones auxins (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellins (GAs), and
cytokinins (Cyt), as compared with the untreated plants. Moreover, chitosan concentrations
induced significantly increments in grains yield, nutritive values, carbohydrates %, proteins %,
antioxidant compounds and macronutrients of the grain yield. Cultivation of wheat plants under
sandy soil conditions and treated with foliar application of 100 mg-1 chitosan gave the higher
values of the grain yieldas well as the nutritional values contents.
