About the Cover

Two field trials were conducted during the two successive summer growing seasons of 2019 and 2020, at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Fayoum University Fayoum Governorate, Egypt. A split- split design with three replicates was used. The main plots were assigned three water stress treatments (skipping of some irrigations) as follows: normal irrigation (7 irrigations), i.e., control treatment, missing the 4th irrigation (64 days after planting; DAP), and missing the 6th irrigation (78 DAP). The sub-plots were restricted to three yellow single cross hybrids of maize, i.e., single cross hybrid 2055, single cross hybrid 2066 and single cross hybrid 2088, and the sub-sub plots received three concentrations Calcium carbonate nanoparticles i.e., 500, 750 and 100 g feddan-1 (fed-1 ; feddan= 4200 m2 ). The results showed that irrigation treatment reflected positive significant influences on growth parameters, normal irrigation resulted in the best mean values of plant height in both seasons at 65 and 80 DAP. Also, yellow single cross hybrids of maize were significantly differed in almost mean values of maize growth, under study in both seasons. Maize hybrid of S.C. 2088 was significantly surpassed S.C. 2055 and S.C. 2066 in mean values of all growth characters. Calcium carbonate nanoparticles concentrations had a significant effect on growth parameters, i.e., plant height in both seasons at 65 and 80 DAS.
