Abstract
Two field experiments were executed during the two successive seasons of 2005/2006 and 2006/2007at Giza Agricultural Research Station to identify the most effective coefficient of daily pan evaporation accumulation selected from 1.25, 1.00 and 0.75 evaporation pan coefficient (EPC) in scheduling irrigation for wheat, cultivar Sakha  69, receiving 60, 75 and 90 kg N/fed in order to maximize crop and water productivity. The number of applied irrigations and water consumptive use (Cu) were increased as the value of EPC increased and, Cu differed significantly due to nitrogen level, with 90 kg N/fed consuming more water than the other N-levels. The highest Water Use Efficiency (WUE) was recorded under 1.00 EPC comparable to the other tested EPC values and values of WUE, differed due to nitrogen level. The 90 kg N/fed gave the lowest WUE while 75 kg N/fed gave the highest value. The plant height, grain weight/spike, number of spike/m2 and 1000-grain weight were significantly affected due to the adopted irrigation regimes and generally, tended to increase as EPC increased. Grain and straw yields tended to increase with increasing EPC. The highest values were obtained with 1.25 EPC. All of agronomic yields and yield components were increased with the increase in N- level, as well as with the increase in EPC values. The maximum values of yields and their components were given by 90 kg N/ fed with1.25 EPC.
