EFFECT OF IRRIGATION WATER AND GREAIN MAGNETIZATION ON GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS OF WEAT ( Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract

This study was carried out during winter season 2011-2012 at the field of Al-khalis experiments station , Asplit – split plots Design was used with four replications , to evaluate the effect of water irrigation and seed magnetization on growth characteristics , and grain yield of wheat (Var. IPA 95) The main plots were included two types of water ( fresh and saline) , while the subplots were included two treatments of water irrigation ( normal and magnetic ) and the seeds magnetization 0 , 500 , and 1000 GS were put in sub – sub plots. The results showed that there is significant effect of irrigation water to reduce all studied characteristics , while the water an seeds magnetization gave higher effect as compared with non-magnetization treatments , and reduced the damage of water salinity . However treatment of magnetized seeds with 500 GS and irrigation with magnetization fresh water gave the best grain yield, 5.930 t.h-1.
