Abstract
During the summers of 2019 and 2020, two field experiments were conducted at El-Serw Agriculture Research Station, in Damietta Governorate. Teosinte seeds were planted on three different dates (15^th March, 15^th April, and 15^th May), and subjected three cutting time of 40, 50, and 60 days in two different salinity soil sites (low and medium salinity depending on dsm^-1). The first sowing date and cutting at 60 days in low saline levels led to the heaviest overall fresh and dry weights throughout both seasons. In both seasons, the first sowing date and the first cutting time at the medium salt levels resulted in the lowest mean of total fresh and dry weights. In both seasons, the highest data of fruit instances was observed from the second sowing and cutting time at 60 days under the first level of salinity. The first and second sowing dates under the three managements of cutting under two soil salinity levels showed no significant differences. Under the first soil salinity, the maximum mean of 100 grains weight was reported from the third sowing date and cutting at 60 days. During the first season, the third sowing date and cutting at 50 days under low salinity conditions resulted in the highest seed weight/fed, whereas in the second season, the second sowing date at 50 days under low salinity levels resulted in the highest seed weight/fed. Under medium salinity soil, the lowest seed weight/fed values were reported from the first sowing date and cutting at 40 days.
