Two field experiments, were conducted at Agricultural Research Farm, Agronomy Department, Faculty of Agriculture, AL-Azhar Univ. Madenit Nasser during 2013 and 2015 summer seasons to study the influence of irrigation regimes (40% ,60% and 80% depletion of field capacity) ,sowing dates(20 th of April , 20 th of May and 20 th of June) as well as nitrogen fertilizer rates (80,100and 120 kg N/fad.) on the yield and yield components of pearl millet, (Shandaweil 1 var.). The results revealed that, irrigation at 40% depletion of field capacity awarded the highest significant means for plant height, fresh and dry weight/plant and fresh and dry forage yield / fad. in both growing seasons. In both growing seasons, the first sowing date (20 th April) was the most significant one due to the previous parameters. The highest means of the above mentioned characters were obtained by 120 kg N/fad.. As for interactions. irrigation at 40 % depletion of field capacity during the first sowing date (20 th April) awarded the heaviest plants , while the two sowing dates (20 th April and 20 th May) Also , the application of 120 kg N/fad. gave the best results for the most characters under study.
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.
