A field trial was carried out during 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 seasons at Itay El-Baroud, Research Station, El Behaira Governorate, Field Crop Research Institute, to study the effect of intercropping 25% plant density of sunflower (Sakha 53, Giza 102 and Giza 120) with sugar beet and four treatments of 50% defoliation for sunflower cultivars as follow at flowering stage (L1), 15 days after flowering stage (L2), 30 days after flowering stage (L3) and without defoliation leaves (L4), on sugar beet and sunflower. Results showed that when sowing sunflower Giza 102 with sugar beet in both seasons, yield, its components, and quality of sugar beet recorded the greatest values. The greatest values were obtained for all sugar beetroot character traits during the defoliation treatment (L1) in both seasons. The interaction between sunflower Giza 102 and (L1) produced the highest values for root length, root diameter, and root yield/fed in one season and TSS% in both seasons. The greatest values for all sunflower characters were found in Giza 120. The defoliation treatment (L4) had the greatest values across all sunflower character traits across both seasons. The highest values on sunflower characters were recorded in interactions between Giza 120 and (L4) over both seasons.. The Giza 102 and (L1) defoliation treatments with sugar beetroot plantings in seasons, respectively, produced the greatest LER values (1.23 and 1.31). When sugar beet root and sunflower Giza 102was intercropped with (L1) defoliation treatment in both seasons, the increases in net return were 22855.10 and 27256.59 L.E., respectively.
A two -year study was carried out to determine the effects of intercropping Gurma watermelon pulp and sunflower cultivars with various plant densities in
Two field experiments were conducted at Etay El-Baroud Agricultural Research Station, El-Beheira Governorate to study the effect of wheat and faba bean sowing distances and mineral nitrogen fertilizer (N) + mycorrhiza on growth and productivity under intercropping system during 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 growing seasons. Faba bean was sowing at three hill spaces i.e. 10 cm (D 1 ), 20 cm (D 2 ) and 30 cm (D 3 ) and five fertilization regimes of wheat i.e. 168 kg mineral nitrogen ha -1 as a recommended dose (100% N), 113 kg mineral nitrogen ha -1 (75% N), 84 kg mineral nitrogen ha -1 (50% N), 113 kg mineral nitrogen ha -1 (75% N) + mycorrhiza and 84 kg mineral nitrogen ha -1 (50% N) + mycorrhiza (F 1 , F 2 , F 3 , F 4 and F 5 , respectively). Faba bean sowing distance 30 cm (D 3 ) gave the highest wheat shoot dry weight, leaf area ( at 75 and 90 days from sowing), yield, its attributes, leaf content of chlorophyll, NPK % in dry leaves and grains content of protein in contrast it decreased plant height of wheat. Respect to fertilization regimes, the results confirmed that 113 kg mineral nitrogen ha -1 + mycorrhiza (F 4 ) had superior effect on most studied characters of wheat and faba bean. The interaction of sowing distances of faba bean and fertilization treatments of wheat it significantly affected on wheat grain yield ton ha -1 , the physiological characters and land equivalent ratio (LER). It is concluded that, sowing faba bean at 30 cm (D 3 ) hill space with 168 kg mineral nitrogen ha -1 (recommended dose) or 113 kg mineral nitrogen ha -1 (75% N) + mycorrhiza fertilizer for wheat were suitable for increasing productivity and total net return.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
