Corn (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in the world and in Egypt. Therefore, the present work was designed to investigate the response of corn to nitrogen and manganese fertilization. Two field experiments were conducted during two successive growing seasons of 1997 and 1998. The effect of four nitrogen levels, three manganese nutrient rates and three methods of Mn applications on the growth, grain yield and its components as well as grain quality of maize were investigated. The soil of the experimental plots was clay texture (pH value 7.91, CaCO3 3.89 % and organic...

Undoubtedly, it is previously known that Egypt has one of the oldest and most productive agricultural systems in the world. Agricultural practices such as fertilization, plant population, harvesting date, planting methods and irrigation may affect the crop growth and production under local conditions. The present book was reviewing and assembling the accumulative results of respective number of original scientific researches which conducted in the period of 2002 - 2010 at the research and agricultural experimental station, Faculty of Agriculture, Banha University, Egypt. Maize, wheat, canola,...
