| Abstract | ||||
| This investigation was carried out in the Agricultural Experimental Farm at Fac. Agric., Assiut Univ., during the two winter growing seasons 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 to study the effect of wheat grains soaking in micro-element solutions on yield and its components. The used experimental design was a Randomized Complete Block Design in split-plot with four replications. Wheat varieties (Giza 168 and Bani-Swef 1) were allocated in the main plot, while micronutrient treatments (Fe, Zn, Mn, Fe+Mn, Zn+Mn, Fe+Zn and Fe+Mn+Zn) were distributed in the sup-plot. The plot area was 3x3.5 m2. The results could be summarized as follows: - Giza 168 variety surpassed and gave significant increase in the spike length, 1000-grains weight and straw yield in both season, as well as in the first season only gave significant increase in number of spikelets/spike and number of spike/m2 over Bani-Swef 1. - The maximum values for plant height, spike length, 1000-grains weight, number of spikelets/spike, number of spikes/m2, grain yield/fed., straw yield/fed. were recorded by Fe+Mn+Zn treatment in both seasons. - The interaction between varieties and micronutrient treatments had non-significant effect on the all studied traits in both seasons. | ||||
