Abstract
The present thesis concerned with studying the effect of planting date, planting method, seeding method combined with seeding rate and weed control treatments on emergency performance, growth characters, yield & its components and quality of lentil seeds. This investigation was conducted at Shandweel Agricultural Research Station during 1985/86 and 1986/87 seasons. Three factors were studied, the first was planting methods, i.e. the Herati method (wet) and the Afir method (dry). The second factor was seeding methods combined with seeding rates which were, broadcasting 60 kg/ faddan, drilling 10 cm apart(GO kg/faddan),drilling 15 cm apart(40 kg/faddan)and drilling 20 cm apart(30 kg/faddan). The third factor was weed control treatment which included the check, handweeding twice, prometryn 1 kg/faddan, metrebuzin 120 grñ/faddan, trebutryn 1 kg/faddan and oxy— fluorfen 750 ctnlfaddan. These three factors were conducted under two planting dates namely 15th Nov. and 15th Dec. The results obtained during the course of study will be summarized as follows:
I — Emergency performance:
Number of lentil seedlingslm2 at 20 days from planting was significantly increased at early plantings as compared with late one. Planting method had a significant effect in this respect in favour of the Afir method. Seeding method combined with seeding rates
