Management Of Soil Irrigated With El-Salam Canal Water For Wheat Production

Two field experiments were carried out at the area irrigated by El-SalamCanal, water during 2005-2006 season at two locations of South-East Qantara, Sinai Governorate, to study the effect of farmyard manure (FYM), mineral N- ”sources, rates and the splitting of mineral N-” using on wheat (Triticum aestivurm, c.v. Sakha 69). The first experiment was located at South East Qantara and the second one was performed at El-Tena. The main results could be summarized as follows:1)Yield of grains, and straw were increased by application of FYM experiments. 2)Application of ammonium nitrate 125 kg. fed-1 in 8 splits along with FYM increased grain and straw yields under sprinkler irrigation system.3)The 1000-grains weight increased by increasing nitrogen rate, using FYM and splitting application.4)Grain protein yield increased by 22.7% up on using FYM under sprinkler irrigation system and 37.5% under surface irrigation system. 5)Using 8 splits of ammonium nitrate using 125 kg. fed-1 gave by least increase in protein yield under sprinkler system. 6)Using 4 splits of calcium nitrate increased protein yield under surface irrigation system.
