EFFECT OF SURFACE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS AND GROWTH STIMULANTS ON WATER USE EFFICIENCY AND WHEAT YIELD AND QUALITY

Abstract

: Two field experiments were carried out at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Menoufia University, Shebin El-Kom, Egypt during 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 seasons to study the effect of different surface irrigation systems (basin irrigation, bed irrigation and gated pipes) and foliar application with some growth stimulants (control, amino acids, humic acid, compost tea, seaweed extract and yeast extract) on morphophysiological traits, leaf minerals content, yield, irrigation efficiency and technological and rheological properties of bread wheat ( Triticum aestivum , Giza 171 cv.)
