Genetic Variability among Winter Cereal Genotypes for Response to Protein Hydrolysate (PH) for Grain Yield and Its Attributes
Genetic Variability among Winter Cereal Genotypes for Response to Protein Hydrolysate (PH) for Grain Yield and Its Attributes
A field experiment-based study was conducted using 19 different varieties of cereal crops i.e. eight of wheat (black wheat,
WH1105, WH1142, HD2967, WH1124, DBW88, WH1025, WH1080), seven of triticale (TL3003, TL3002, TL3001,
TL3004, TL2942, TL3005, TL2969 and four of barley (BH885, BH902, BH946, BH393) in research facility at agriculture
farms of Jagan Nath University, Bahadurgarh, Jhajjar during Rabi 2020-21. The physiological and agronomical parameters
were analyzed in three cereal crops wheat, triticale and barley using a waste human hair (amino acids hydrolysate developed
by protein hydrolysis techniques). The test plot given the treatment of foliar spray having approximately 8% (v/v) nitrogen
and 8-10% (w/v) carbon diluted 5ml/l with water after seed germination of 40 days followed by three sprays after interval
of 25 days. The comparison of control and test showed increase in height of wheat (2.9±0.25%), triticale (3.5±0.45%),
and barley (2.2±0.22%). The increase in spike length observed in wheat (2.01±0.6%), triticale (1.73±0.17%), and barley
(2.9±0.27%). The overall production of plots increased as in wheat (11.9±0.86%), triticale (12.14±0.86%), and barley
(12.8±0.29%) comparison to control plot. This analysis from this study concludes that the foliar application of protein
hydrolysate shows significant results on the plant height, spike length and yield of crops. The accumulation of protein
hydrolysate varies among cereal genotypes. This type of protein hydrolysate having short peptide and free amino acids are
accumulated directly by plants and enhance the growth and maintained plants health. The application can be an alternative
of chemical-based fertilizers and reduce the environment pollution.
