- Intervention effect Sowing date significantly affected plant height, flag leaf area and number of grains per spike in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Sowing date significantly affected 1000-grain weight and carbohydrate percentage in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Sowing date did not significantly affect number of tillers per plant, straw yield or protein percentage in either season.
- Intervention effect Wheat sown on 15 November produced the highest values in all studied traits except 1000-grain weight.
- Intervention effect Raising nitrogen from 30 or 50 to 70 kg N per fad. significantly increased all traits under study in both seasons except straw yield in the second season.

- Intervention effect Foliar boron significantly increased grain and straw yields of wheat relative to control.
- Intervention effect Sowing wheat on 15 November with 70 N per fad. and 100 ppm foliar boron gave the highest grain yield and quality under Assiut conditions.
