| Abstract | ||||
| TWO FIELD experiments were carried out at the Experimental Farm of Assiut University during the two successive winter seasons 2013/2014 and 2014/2015. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of three sowing methods (i.e broad casting method, broad casting on the terraces with width 1.5 m and drilling on the terraces with width 1.5 m and the distance between rows 15 cm) and microelements foliar application (two levels) on two bread wheat cultivars and their economical visibility. The obtained results indicate that all measured traits exhibited significant differences in response to sowing methods; moreover, microelement foliar application scored significant differences in yield and yield components. drilling on terraces sowing method gave the highest mean value of grain and biological yields as compared with broad casting method, which is the common sowing method for wheat. Furthermore, cultivar Shandawel-1, developed in Upper Egypt, surpassed the other cultivar Misr-1 in its yield under the experiment conditions. | ||||
