A Factorial experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of Field Crop College of Agriculture University of Baghdad winter Season of 2014-2015. The study was aimed to investigate the effect of seeding rates and nitrogen levels on regulation of tillering in wheat and its relationship with grain yield and components. Treatments were distributed in the Factorial experiment within Randomized Complete Black Design with three replicates and four seeding rates 60,80,100 and 120 kg ha-1 and fertilized with four nitrogen levels 50,100,150 and 200 kgN.ha-1. The results showed that there were significant differences within two factors and their interaction on the number of spikes and grain yield. Main stem produced the highest number of Spike 210.00 spike.m-2, and grain yield 3.050 tan ha-1 compared to primary tillers (tiller1,tiller2,tiller3). Concerning the seeding rate 80 kg ha-1 resulted in the highest number of Spike.m-2  363 spike and Grain yield 4.775 tan.h-1 compared to other seed rates. The N level 150 kg ha-1 gave the highest number of spikes 382 spike and grain Yield 4.919 tan.h-1 compared to other N levels. The percentage of contribution main stem 50.82, 64.57 % respectively compared to the tillers (tiller1, tiller2, tiller3) which amounted to 32.55, 12.80 and 3.80 % respectively in the spikes number, and 26.02, 7.90 and 1.33 % respectively in grain yield. It could be conclude that the total contribution of the primary tillers percentages represents a half the total number of spikes within two factors of study, while the total contribution percentages of primary tillers is amounted to half the main stem contribution in the grain yield within two factors of study.

Six S5 lines of maize, with differences for lysine and oil contents in grains, were used to carry out a complete series of diallelic crosses. The resulting 15 hybrids were grown in a field at two nitrogen levels (10 and 130 kg N ha-1). The general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) were obtained by using the method 4, model I of Griffing for grain yield, and grain lysine and oil contents. Significant (p < 0.001) interaction was observed between GCA and N levels for grain yield, indicating the selection of different lines for each N level. This interaction was not significant for lysine content, but there were significant effects of GCA for this trait at both N levels (p < 0.1). Significant effects were not observed for GCA or SCA for oil content, however a positive correlation was observed between lysine and oil contents in the hybrids, in the lines and even in the control cultivars. The results indicate the effectiveness of selection for lysine content, irrespective of N level, in the studied non-opaque maize lines, and the possibility of achieving both high lysine and oil content in grains.

Abstract A field experiment was carried out in a farmer’s field in Zakhikha which is one of the rural areas of western Heet City (about 15 kg) in Anbar Governorate, during Winter season 2020-2021, with sandy loam soil, to study seven newly derived genotypes from durum wheat, including two cultivars. They are registered, certified, and commonly cultivated in Iraq, under three seeding rate to select the ones that are suitable for the conditions of Anbar Governorate. Randomized complete blocks design (RCBD) was used in a split plot arrangement with three replications. The experiment included three Seeding rate (140, 160 and 180 kg ha-1) that represented the main plot, whereas the sub plots were occupied by seven genotypes (Latifia, Babel-30, Babel-31, Babel-32, Babel-86, and the two approved varieties Dour-29 and Dour-85). The results of the study showed that Babel-32 outperformed the rest of significant effect genotypes with highest average number of spikes (507.6 spike m-2) and grain yield (8.741 Mg ha-1), while the genotype Babel-86 was superior in weight of 1000 grain (55.89 g), and the cultivar (Dour-29) outperformed for the trait of number of grains per spike (39.15 grains spike-1). A significant effect of plant densities appeared in the studied traits, as the plants grown at seeding rate (180 kg ha-1) recorded the highest average in the trait of number of spikes m-2 (506.2 spike m-2) and grain yield (8.898 Mg ha-1) And the percentage of protein (11.89%). While planting plants at seeding rates (140 kg ha-1) led to the highest rate of number of grains per spike (38.42 grains) and 1000 grains weight (52.71 g). There was a significant interaction between genotypes and Seeding rate.

A field experiment was conducted at CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, India during the winter season for three consecutive years from 1995–96 to 1997–98 to study the effect of different nitrogen levels and Azotobacter inoculation on the growth, grain yield and nitrogen utilization efficiency of two varieties of oat. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications. The results revealed that oat variety JHO-822 was superior to OS-7 for grain yield. However, the variety OS-7 produced a higher straw yield than JHO-822. Increasing levels of nitrogen up to 60 kg/ha significantly increased the grain and straw yields over the lower doses on a pooled data basis. Nitrogen application also had a beneficial effect on the yield attributing traits of oat. Nitrogen utilization efficiency was highest at 60 kg N/ha and declined thereafter. Azotobacter inoculation was found beneficial in terms of increased grain and straw yield and higher nitrogen utilization efficiency over the uninoculated treatments.

A field trial was conducted to assess the effect of Nitrogen (N) levels and application scheduling on the growth and grain yield of maize. The results revealed that growth and grain yield traits of maize were influenced significantly (P<0.01) due to different Nitrogen (N) levels and application schedule. Crop fertilized with the highest Nitrogen (N) level of 180 kg per ha resulted from 185.07 cm plant height, 11.94 leaves per plant, 473.92 cm leaf area per plant, 1.73 cobs per plant, 347.91 grains per cob, 15650.33 kg biomass yield and 3030.28 kg grain yield per ha. The crop receiving Nitrogen (N) at the rate of 120 kg per ha gave 177.67 cm plant height, 10.91 leaves per plant, 464.44 cm leaf area per plant, 1.60 cobs per plant, 237.04 grains per cob, 14241.80 kg biomass yield and 2762.30 kg grain yield per ha; while lowest Nitrogen (N) rate of 60 kg per ha resulted from 170.26 cm plant height, 9.89 leaves per plant, 455.15 cm leaf area per plant, 1.47 cobs per plant, 307.41 grains per cob, 13672.13 kg biomass yield and 2541.32 kg grain yield per ha. The effect of the scheduling of Nitrogen (N) application suggested that Nitrogen (N) applied in four equal splits, 25% each, 14, 28 and 42 days after emergence (DAE) ranked 1st.

To determine if increased seeding rates would alter relative yields of traditional and low-tillering genotypes, a high-tillering (Neepawa), a low-tillering (Siete Cerros), and an oligoculm (M1417) spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotype were seeded in replicated field trials at two locations in 1984 and 1985. A four-replication split-plot design, with genotypes assigned to main plots and seeding rates (40, 80 160, 320 and 640 seeds m−2) to subplots, was used for each experiment. Grain yield and its components were measured on individual plots or on main stems of five plants in each plot. All three genotypes expressed maximum yield at the same seeding rate (640 seeds m−2 in 1984 and 320 seeds m−2 in 1985) in the semiarid conditions of these experiments. Despite diverse tillering habits, the relative yields of these three genotypes could not be altered by changing seeding rates. On average, Siete Cerros (low-tillering) yielded 15% more than Neepawa and 17% more than M1417. Neepawa had lower grain yields than M1417 at all seeding rates in 1984, but higher grain yields in 1985. A similar change in relative performance of these two genotypes was observed for harvest index of the main stem but not for main stem grain yield kernels spike −1 on the main stem or kernel weight.Key words: Wheat (spring), oligoculm, yield components, genotype-environmental interaction.
