| Abstract | ||
| A field trial was carried out through the two consecutive wheat growing time of year, 2019/20 and 2020/21 at the Faculty of Agriculture, Kafr El-sheikh University. to investigate how various Seeding rates and weed management affect the yield of wheat cultivars Giza 168 and Giza 171. Three Seeding rates (40, 60, and 80 kg fed.-1) and three weed management practices (unwedded check, hand-weeded twice, and weed herbicides) were tested. The study utilized a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in a split-split plot arrangement, replicated three times. The wheat cultivars were assigned to the main plots, seeding rates to the subplots, and weed management to the sub-subplots. Results showed significant variations between the two cultivars, seeding rates, and weed management on all studied characteristics in both seasons. Both Seeding rates and weed management significantly affected physiological traits, yield, and its components were assessed. Notably, variations in seeding rates did not influence the TGW in the 2020/21 season and harvest index in either season. Giza 171 was surprised for grain yield 2.552 ton/fed., in 2019/20 season, 60 kg seed/fed. and herbicide application. In the subsequent season, both herbicide and hand weeding were employed alongside the same seeding rates. | ||
