| Abstract | ||||
| Two field experiments, were conducted at Agricultural Research Farm, Agronomy Department, Faculty of Agriculture, AL-Azhar Univ. Madenit Nasser during 2013 and 2015 summer seasons to study the influence of irrigation regimes ( 40% ,60% and 80% depletion of field capacity) ,sowing dates(20th of April , 20th of May and 20th of June ) as well as nitrogen fertilizer rates (80,100and 120 kg N/fad. ) on the yield and yield components of pearl millet, (Shandaweil 1 var.). The results revealed that, irrigation at 40% depletion of field capacity awarded the highest significant means for plant height, fresh and dry weight/plant and fresh and dry forage yield / fad. in both growing seasons. In both growing seasons, the first sowing date (20th April ) was the most significant one due to the previous parameters . The highest means of the above mentioned characters were obtained by 120 kg N/fad.. As for interactions. irrigation at 40 % depletion of field capacity during the first sowing date (20th April ) awarded the heaviest plants , while the two sowing dates (20th April and 20th May ) Also , the application of 120 kg N/fad. gave the best results for the most characters under study. | ||||
