ABSTRACT

Study was conducted for two successive winter seasons; 2020/21 and 2021/22, at the Research Farm of the National Institute of Desert Studies (RFNIDS), New Hamdab Scheme, Northern State of Sudan. The objective was to study the effect of treatments interactions of canal sediments (20 and 40 ton ha^-1), application of farmyard manure fertilizer (0 and 10 ton ha^-1) on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and yield in the area. The experimental design was a complete randomizes block design (RCBD) with four replicates. The results showed that there were no significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) on number of plants per meter square in both seasons. There were significant differences (P ≤ 0.01) on plant height, number of tillers, number of seeds/spike, thousand seed weight, grain yield and harvest index in both seasons and highly significant differences (P ≤ 0.01) according to the interactions effect of these factors on biological yield (Kg ha^-1) and straw yield in both seasons. The combination of application of (40 ton ha^-1) canal sediment and (10 ton ha^-1) farmyard manure showed the greatest averages of yield and yield components of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in both seasons at El-Multaga soil series -Northern State of Sudan.
