Tested variables and experimental design Treatments:
Treatments for rice crop: 2. Bio & N-fertilizers 1. Planting method Farmer method (flat) Bio+ 75% N 100% N furrow method Bio + 100% N
Main soil physical and hydro-physical characteristics at the experimental site.
Wheat Effect of furrow length and width and nitrogen level on grain and straw yields and yield components of wheat crop (winter season 2010/2011).
Effect of furrow length and width and nitrogen level on some water relations of wheat crop (winter season 2010/2011). IWUE = Irrigation water use efficiency (kg grain/m3 applied irrigation water) WUE = Water use efficiency (kg grain/m3 consumed water)
Sugarbeet Effect of furrow length and width and nitrogen level on sugar beet yield and quality (winter season 2010/2011).
Effect of furrow length and width and nitrogen level on some water relations of sugar beet crop (winter season 2010-2011).
Maize Effect of furrow length and width and nitrogen level on maize yield and yield components (summer season 2011).
Effect of furrow length and width and nitrogen level on some water relations of maize crop (summer 2011).
Rice Effect of cultivation methods and nitrogen levels on rice yield and yield components (summer 2011).
Total amount of applied water, rice yield, water savings and water use efficiency (WUE) as affected by planting methods and nitrogen levels.
II Out Scaling and Dissemination
Field & Harvest Days • Three field days and three harvest days were conducted in the site to disseminate the activities being conducted in the benchmarks • Farmers from Sharkia Governorate, officials, extension agents, researchers from ARC, NWRC, and ICARDA attended the field days.
