| Water shortage, nitrogen fertilizer and zinc deficiency are important factors affecting quantitative and qualitative of wheat. This study was conducted as a split-factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with four replications in 2017-18 with nitrogen in three levels 40, 80, and 160 kg/ha and application and non-application of zinc under normal irrigation, irrigation up to complete flowering and stem elongation were applied. Irrigation up to stem elongation resulted in a significant decrease in 1000-grain weight (11.24%) compared to the control treatment. Foliar application of zinc fertilizer showed a 4.24% increase in 1000-grain weight compared to the control treatment. The most prominent result was the simultaneous application of 80 kg N/ha and Zn fertilizer under irrigation up to stem elongation, which resulted in 43.6% increase in grain yield compared to irrigation up to flowering. Irrigation up to stem elongation compared to normal irrigation resulted in a 28% increase in the average grain protein. The application of 40 and 80 kg N/ha compared to the treatment of 160 kg/ha led to more adsorption of zinc in plant organs. In general, the co-application of zinc and nitrogen fertilizers (80 kg/ha) under irrigation up to stem elongation treatment led to the modification of the negative effects of water shortage. The co-application of zinc and nitrogen fertilizer (80 kg/ha) under irrigation up to stem elongation conditions is recommended for Mahabad region of Isfahan province. |
