Performance Of Some Chickpea Cultivars Under Sprinkler Irrigation Treatments In

摘要: Two field experiments were conducted in the Production and Research Station of National Centre El-Nobaria, Al- Behaira Governorate, Egypt during 2009/2010 2010/2011 growing seasons. This study aimed to investigate performance some chickpea cultivars namely Giza 531, 3 195 under different levels sprinkler irrigation water, i.e. 100, 75 50% reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) sandy soil. The obtained results exhibited that both seasons, increasing level led significant increases all growth yield characters except for No. branches/ plant.
