Irrigation Rationalization Boosts Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Yield and Reduces Rust Incidence under Arid Conditions

Table 7

Yield and yield components, protein ratio, and yellow rust infection in different irrigation treatments.

Yield characteristics/treatments	Grain yield (ton/ha)	Biomass yield (ton/ha)	1000 grain weight (g)	No. of grains/spike	Relative yield (%)	Protein ratio (%)	Yellow rust infection (%)
(1) (80%)	2.56^a	12.7^ab	45.5^ab	44.4	14	14.4^d	50^ab
(2) (70%)	2.1^ab	11.3^ab	42.6^b	39.9	-6	15.9^a	30^bc
(3) F (100%)	2.93^a	13.2^a	47.9^a	44.5	31	13.6^f	53.3^ab
