Abstract | ||||
Two field experiments were conducted at Nubaria Agricultural Research Station during two consecutive growing seasons; 1999/2000 and 2000/2001 to determine the optimum seeding rate and weed control package for the new promising line (Giza 2000) under new lands.Four seeding rates (30,40,50,and 60 kg seeds/fad.) and three weed control (1-unweeded control 2- hand weeding twice 3-herbicidal control by Sinai 10% followed by Grasp10%. The highest seeding rates 60 and 50 kg /lad. produced the highest values of grain yield/fad., number of spikes/m and the lowest number and fresh weight of weeds (Avena spp was the dominant grassy weed and Raphanus raphanistrum as a dominant broad leaf weed). On the other hand seeding rate at 30 kg seeds /fad. gave the highest values of number of spikes /plant, grain yield / plant ,biological yield /plant, number of kernels/spike, spike kernel weight, 1000kwt, and number and fresh weight of both weed species. Grain yield increased from 12.6 ard. /fad. with 30 kg seeds / fad. to 16.51 ard. /fad. with 60 kg seeds Had. This increased estimated by 31.90 %. Controlling weeds by herbicidal treatments increased grain yield by about 40.3 and 13.6 % compared to unweeded and hand weeding, respectively. Number of weeds decreased from 77 plants under 30 kg. seeds/ fad. to 13 plants under 60 kg. seeds / fad. However, when application of the mentioned herbicidal treatment totaley, vanquished the weeds, since zero number of weed plants was recorded after 90 days from sowing. The tratments of 40,50 and 60 kg seeds/fad with weed control and 60 kg seeds/fad. only (unweeded control) gave similar grain yield. The recommended package of the newly promising line (Giza 2000) sowing by 40 kg sends /fad. and treated by Sinai 10 % SC at 40 cc/fad. applied after 20 days from sowing and followed by Grasp 10 % EC at 1 L/fad. after 21 days interval. The second recommended tretment was sowing by 60 kg seeds/fad. without weed control. | ||||
