Abstract

One field experiment was conducted at Hada Al-Sham Ex- perimental Station, King Abdulaziz University, to study the effect of three different rates of irrigation, based on depletion ratios of 50%, 25%, 10% (IR 1 , IR 2 , IR 3 ) and four different rates of nitrogen fertiliza- tion (urea), zero, 100, 200, 300 kg/ha (N 0 , N 1 , N 2 , N 3 ) of hybrid corn plant (AGA Seed 215 Cultivar). Total dry matter accumulation and its parts (leaves, stems, ears, and tassels) as well as the nitrogen content in different plant parts at different growth stages during two successive sowing dates (autumn 1994 and spring 1995) were determined. The ir- rigation scheduling processes were designed under constraint of equal total seasonal applied water for different irrigation treatments, which were 90.15 cm/sowing date one (9015 m3 /ha/sowing date one) and 82.1 cm/sowing date two (8210 m 3 /ha/sowing date two) for two sowing dates, respectively. The first sowing date outcome had a significantly higher leaf area index and dry weight (ear, tassel and total), plant nitro- gen percentage (stem, ear and total). However, the nitrogen percentage of tassel was significantly higher in second sowing date . All plant var- iables (dry matters) were higher under the fourth plant stage (matura- tion) except tassel dry weights. The nitrogen treatment affected sig- nificantly some growth variables, where the N 3 treatment gave higher values of dry weight (3202.9 kg/ha for ear, 232.3 kg/ha for tassel and 6438.2 kg/ha for total), and nitrogen percentage (1.98 gm/kg for leaf, and stem), while N 2 treatment gave higher values of nitrogen content in plant and its parts, (2.9 gm/kg for total, 2.84 gm/kg for leaf, 1.97 gm/kg for stem, 1.67 gm/kg and 1.56 gm/kg for tassel). There was no sig- nificant effect for the irrigation regimes or interaction treatments (nitro- gen treatment and irrigation regimes) on all the studied plant variables.
