Abstract

To determine the appropriate density of durum wheat promising D-81-6 line, a split-factorial randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted during two growing seasons at Agricultural Research station of Neishabur. Plant densities of 400, 500 and 600 seeds per square meter devoted to the main plots and total of two fertilizer treatments of nitrogen fertilizer (including both the 138 and 184 kgha-1) and five treatments of timing of nitrogen application in different growth Zadoks stages were assigned to the subplots. In this study traits such as grain and biological yield, grain weight, number of spikes per square meter, number of grains per spike and grain protein requirements were recorded. Analysis of variance showed that the effects of seed density on all traits except grain yield was not significant in the first year. While the effect of nitrogen fertilizer on all traits was not significant in the first year. Moreover, in case of grain and biological yield
