Response of wheat to irrigation in sandy soils [electronic resource].

Includes references.

Two field experiments were conducted at Ismailia Agricultural Research station in 2000/2001 and 2001/2002 seasons, to study the effect of some irrigation treatments on yield and yield components and protein. percentage of grain. well as some water relations of Gemmeiza 9 wheat variety. Nine irrigation treatments represent the combination between three irrigation intervals i.e. 5, 10 and 15 days both at heading and maturity. Results indicated that significant differences between irrigation treatments for plant height, number of spikes/m2,number of grains/ spike, 1000 - grain weight and grain and straw yield/fed. Irrigation of wheat at long intervals ( 15 days) decreased yield and its components than irrigation at short intervals ( 5 days) in sandy soils.
