Influence of irrigation water regimes and patterns of nitrogen placement combined with soil compaction on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth

Abstract

Irrigation management and pattern of nitrogen application associated with soil compaction are critical factors in wheat growth. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of irrigation regimes and patterns of nitrogen fertilizer placement in presence of soil compacted layer on some wheat growth parameters. Germination percentage, plant height, pike length, 10-spike weight, total yield and grain yield were measured. Sandy loam lysimeter (0.60 x 1.0 and 0.55 m deep) experiments were conducted in a split-plot design with three replications in the experimental agricultural station of Assiut
