Abstract | ||||
This investigation was carried out in Shandweel Agriculture Research Station during 200012001 and 200112002 seasons. Onion sets .of cultivar Giza 6 Mohassan were used in this work to study the effect of planting dates and orientation of ridges on the emergence of dry onion sets in the field. The obtained data obviously indicated that the last planting date(1 Odober) gave the best results for the percentage of emergence, daily of emergence rate and percentage of missing plants in both seasons. Also, the orientation of ridges significantly affeded all studied characters except the total bulb yield in both seasons. The best results achieved by the orientation of ridges from east to west(south side).Moreover. the interaction between the two studied factors take the same general'trend in both seasons. | ||||
