TI - Effect of soil and foliar applications of different doses of NPK fertilizers on quality and quantity of wheat (Triticum Aestivum l.) crop KW - Wheat KW - Fertilizers KW - Wheat KW - Yields N1 - Includes bibliographic reference N2 - Two field experiments were designed in the Farm of Sids Agricultural Reasearch Station, ARC, Beni Swif Governorate, Egypt to study the effect of different doses of N, P, and K through soil and foliar applications and their interactions on wheat plant (Triticum aestivum L) Three levels of soil NPK applications, i.e., 0.0, 50%, and 100% from its recommended rates (RR) and four foliar spraying treatments were used without spraying and spraying two, threee and four times). The results revealed that, plant height, dry weight/plant, number of spikes/m2 , number of grains/spike, grain and straw yields, N, P and K concentration and uptake by grains and/or straw as well as protein percentages in grains were significantly increased by increasing the soil application of N, P and K up to the recommended rates or by spraying the plants four times. Combined 50% RR NPK + foliar spraying four times gave highest values of the abovementioned parameters, equal to those obtained by 100% RR NPK. The highest values of N, P and K uptake by grains and/or straw and protein percentage in grains produced under 100% RR +foliar spraying four times. The weight of thouthand grain significantly increased by increasing soil application rates, while, it did not affect by the number of foliar spraying numbers UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2015/FJARD/2915/2/108.pdf ER -
