Abstract
During 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 seasons, two experiments under field conditions have been performed at Sakha Agricultural Research Station (ARC) Experimental Farm in Egypt, to find out the effect of drainage treatments (water table depths) on growth, yield and its components of four wheat cultivars. Every experiment had been in three replications and had been performed in a split-plot design. The main-plots were dedicated to drainage treatments (conventional drainage at 120 cm and two controlled drainage at 80 and 40 cm water table depth). The sub-plots were allocated to wheat cultivars (Sakha 95, Gemmeiza 11, Misr 2 and Giza 168). Data on the amount of water applied to the subsurface drainage system revealed that, the 40 cm treatment saved about 501.9 and 602.28 m3/fed, or about 23.75 and 28.50% of applied irrigation water in 1st and 2nd as compared to the 120 cm depth treatment. The results revealed that drainage treatment 40 cm below soil surface significantly increased early characteristics, growth and yield and wheat characteristics, giving the highest values of followed in the two seasons, by both controlled drainage and conventional drainage. Sakha 95 cultivar exceeded the other studied wheat cultivars (Gemmeiza 11, Misr 2 and Giza 168) and obtained the highest values for days to heading and maturity and for growth, yield and its components in both seasons. The drainage can be concluded depth 40 cm below soil surface for Sakha 95 and/or Gemmeiza 11 cultivars produced the highest growth and productivity under the conditions of the Sakha district in Egypt's Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate.
