The highest seed yield per unit area was obtained by using drip irrigation system followed by gun method (1.44 and 1.24 ton/fed. respectively) while the lowest seed yield was obtained by using conventional furrow method (1.22 ton/fed.). Maximum seed yield/fed was obtained with sowing distance of 15 cm between hills, (186000 plant/fed.), while most of the studied traits were higher with the lowest plant density (140000 plant/fed. produced from planting distance at 20 cm between hills) compared to the highest density UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2005/BFACU/5605/2/253.pdf ER -
