Abstract Two field experiments were carried out at the Agricultural Research and Experiment Center of the Faculty of Agriculture , Moshtohor, Kalubia Gevernorate Zagazig University Egypt during 1999 /2000 and 2000 / 2001 scason«, Tile objective or this study was to investigate the response of orne wheat cultivar to different seeding rates and nitrogen levels in regard to growth , yield and yield components of wheat. Each experiment included 27 treatments which were the combination of three wheat cullivars ( Sakha 69 , Sids 1 and Gemmeiza 7 ), three seeding rates (45 , 60 and 75 kg seeds / feddan ) and three level of nitrogen fertilizer (50 , 75 and 100 kg / feddan). These treatments were arranged in split - split plot design with four replications. The three wheat cultivars were randomly distributed in the main plot, whereas three sec ling rates arranged at random in the sub plots and’ three N lev I were assigned at random in the sub-sub plot. Each sub - sub plot area \ a. 10.5 111~ (3. - 111 long and 3 Il1 wide). Wheat seeds were drilled in rows at 20 CI11 on 2ih and 251h ovcmbcr in the first and second seasons, respectively. The normal cultural practices of growing wheat in the region were followed. Characters studies :- A- Growth characters> 1. Plant height (cm). 2. Flug leaf area (<.:111\ 3. Peduncle length (cm). 4.

Plant height and p duncle length were significantly affected by wheat cultivars in one season only, the tallest cultivar was Sids 1 and the shortest cultivar was Gemmeiza 7 , whereas, Sids 1 cultivar had the shortest values of peduncle length as compared the other wheat cultivats. 2. Sids 1 cultivar surpassed significantly the other studied cultivars in flag leaf area in the first season. While, Gemmeiza 7 recorded higher values or nag leaf area than Sids 1 and Sakha 69 cultivars in the second season. 3. The three evaluated wheat cultivars varied significantly in fresh and dry weight of the different plant organs in the two growing seasons. Gemmeiza 7’ cultivar surpassed significantly Sids 1 and Sakha 69 cultivars in fresh and dry weight of stem , leaves and spike per plant. Whereas, Sakha 69 cultivar gave the lowest values. o significant difference was found between Sakha 69 and Sids 1 cultivars in fresh and dry weight of spike / plant in both seasons, 2. Increasing seeding’ rate from 45 to 60 and 75 kg seeds / feddan significantly decreased nag leal area by 3.21 and 7.55 %, respectively in the first season. Whereas no significant difference was found among the three rates or seeding in flag lear area in the second senSUI1. 3.

On the other hand, no significant difference was found between akha 69 and Sids 1 cultivars in 1000 - grain weight in the Iwo j.!,mwing seasons, whereas the lowest value was recorded by Sids I cuhivar. 7. No significant differences were luuru] in straw yield per Icddan among the tested wheat cultivars in both seasons. Sakha 69 cultivar gave the maximum values of straw yield / feddan. Whereas, the minimum straw yield was of Gcmmeiza 7 cultivar in the first and second seasons. 8. The differences among the three cultivars in the mean values of grain yield / feddan were significant in the first season only. In 1999 / 2000 season, Gemrneiza 7 outyielded Sakha 69 and Sids 1 cultivars by 6.92 and 8.57 % , respectively. Also, Gemmeiza 7 cultivar outyielded Sakha 69 and Sids I cultivars by 5.04 and 5.01 %, respectively, without significant difference. B- Effect of seeding rates:- ] . Plant height and peduncle length were not significantly affected by seeding rates in both seasons. The tallest plants and peduncle length were produced from sowing at 75 kg seeds / feddan.

The increase in N level si mi ficantly increased 1000 - grain weight in one season only. 7. Straw yield and grain yield per fed dan were significantly and consistently increased by increasing N level from 50 to 100 kg N feddan in the two growing seasons. The in rease in N level from 50 to 100 kg N feddan significantly increased grain yield I feddan by 9.14 and 9.25 % in the first and second seasons respectively. D- Interaction effects:- All the interactions between cultivars and seeding rates, cultivars and N level, seeding rates and N levels as well as between the three factors of study all grov th attributes, yield and yield components of wheat did not reach the 5 % level of significance. SUMMARY 9. Weight of 1000 grains was significantly decreased by increasing seeding rate from 45 to 75 kg seeds / fcddan in the two growing seasons. 10. Increasing seeding rat from 45 to 60 and 75 kg seeds / feddan significantly increased straw. icld by 1./1 and 6.4 %, respectively in the first season. Whereas in tile second season, increasing the same rate of seeding increased straw yield! feddan by 3.5 and 7.1 %, respecti vely. 11. Grain yield! fcddan significantly increased by 2.65 and 5.77 % in the second season due to incr asing seeding rate from 45 to 60 and 75 kg seeds / feddan , respectively. Whereas, in the first season , raising the same rates of seeding insignificantly increased grain yield! feddau by 4.50 and 7.76 %, respectively. C- Effect of N levels:- 1. Plant height, fresh and dry weight of stem, leave”’s and spike / plant were highly significantly increased by increasing ’N level up to 100 kg N ! feddan in the two growin~ seasons, Whereas, no significant difference was found between adding 75 and 100 kg N ! feddan in fresh and dry weight of leaves and spike / plant in the second season. 2. Nitrogen application had no significant effect on peduncle length in both seasons, 3. The application of 75 and 100 kg N / feddan significantly increased flag leaf area by 5,15 and 7. I 8 % over adding 50 kg N / feddan , respectively in the first season. Whereas, raising N level from 50 to 75 and 100 kg N / feddan insignificantly increased flag leaf area by 2.55 and 4.20 %, respectively in the second season. 4. umber of tillers and spik s / m2 were significantly increased by increasing N level up to 100 kg / feddan in both seasons, The increase in N level from SO to 100 kg N / fed dan significantly LITERATURE CITED Abd- AHa, A.
