A field experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of beneficial microorganism (BMO) and phosphorus (P) application on dry matter (DM) accumulation and partitioning in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Siren) under full irrigated (no moisture stress) and limited irrigated (dryland or moisture stress) conditions. The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Research Farm, The University of Agriculture Peshawar during winter 2012-13. The experiment under both moisture conditions was laid out in randomized complete block design using three replications. The results revealed that DM accumulation and partitioning into leaf, stem and spike was significantly higher in wheat under irrigated than dryland wheat. The treated plots (rest) had higher total DM accumulation and partitioned more DM into leaf, stem and spike than control at both anthesis and physiological maturity (PM). .. View More»
