The effects of wheat cultivars, seeding rates and weed control treatments on wheat yield and its components
Abstract: Two field experiments were carried out at the Experimental Farm of Sakha Research Station, Kafr El-Sheikh, Egypt during 1994/95 and 1995/96 winter seasons. Investigation aimed to study the wheat cultivars (Sakha 8, Sakha 61 and Giza 163), seeding rates (40, 55 and 70 Kg/fed.) and weed control treatments, Arelon (1.25 L/fed.), hand weeding (twice) and unweeded on wheat yield and its components. Results indicated that using Sakha 8 cultivar resulted high spikes number/m2, number of grains/spike, grain and biological yield/fed. Whereas, Sakha 61 cultivar recorded the highest mean values of 1000-grain weight, spike weight, spike length and number of spikelets/spike. Increasing seeding rate significantly increased number of spikes/m2, grain and biological yield /fed. Arelon treatment greatly increased number of spikes/m2, 1000-grain weight, grain and biological yields/fed. compared by hand weeding treatment.
