| Abstract: A field experiment was carried out 2012-2013 on a silt clay loam soil , to study the effects of nitrogen and intercropping of wheat with some legumes on growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) A factorial experiment in completely randomized block design with three replicates . consisted two level of nitrogen fertilizer (0 and 50 kg Nha-1 ) and seven cropping systems treatments : wheat , bean , berseem and grass pea as (a sole) and Intercropping of wheat with (bean , berseem and grass pea ) . the area experimental unit was 3mx5 The legumes were sown on October 15, while the wheat was sown on November 25, the nitrogen fertilizer was adders as urea (46%N). Intercropping of wheat with berseem caused significant increase in some characters such as plant height (80.03cm), number of grain per spike (35.26grain /spike), grain yield (4.44t.ha-1) and biological yield (15.02t.ha-1) while the other studied characters unaffected . The addition of 50kgN.ha-1 caused significant increases of plant height (19.8%) , flag leaf area (26.5%), chlorophyll content of flag leaf(40.2%), number of spikes (38.1%) , number of grain per spike(38.4%), grain weight (11.2%) ,grain yield (100.1%) ,biological yield (41.9%) . Intercropping of wheat with berseem gave a highest LER (1.07) while intercropping of wheat with bean (0.97) and with grass pea (1.02). | ||
