Abstract

In a pot experiment, wheat (Sakha 8 ) was used to investigate the effect of irrigation intervals , three levels of either nitorgen or iron fertlilzer and soil type on dry matter yield and growth characters of wheat plants.The results show that the dry matter yield and growth character values significantly increased under alluvial soil, 8-days irriga­tion intervals and different nitrogen -iron fertilizer treatments. The inter­action between either soil type or irrigation regime and N-Fe fertilizer treatments in respect of the studied characters were significant. General­ly , the number of the productive tillers value was significantly correlated with the different factors under consideration.
