Field experiments were carried ou at the experimental farm of El-GemmeizaAgricultural Research station, El-Garbia Governorate, Egypt during the two growing seasons of 2008/09 and 2009/10. Seven genotypes i.e., Koru, Gemmeiza 9, IBTA, Sakha 93, Roland, Rumorosa and Athos were crossed in half-diallel mating design in the first season. In the second season, the 28 obtained genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete blocks design in three replications. Mean squares of GCA and SCA were highly significant for all traits, indicating the presence of both additive and non-additive type of gene action. The ratio of GCA/SCA mean squares were more than unity for all traits, indicating that these traits are predominantly controlled by additive and additive x additive gene effects. The parental genotypes; Koru, Roland, Rumorosa and Athos were found to be good combiners for most earliness attributes i.e, days to heading, days to maturity, grain filling period and grain filling rate. While Sakha 93, Gemmeiza 9 and Roland had highly significant positive estimated of ( ) for no. of spikes/plant, no. of grains/spike, 1000-grain weight and grain yield/plant. Significant inter and intera-allelic interaction in negative direction was found in the crosses; Koru x Gemmeiza 9 and Koru x Rumorosa for most earliness attributes; Gemmeiza 9 x Rumorosa for days to heading and grain filling rate; Gemmeiza 9 x Athos for days to maturity and grain filling rate and the cross; Rumorosa x Athos for days to heading and grain filling rate.

Two similar solar drying units were used for drying basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum L.) at initial moisture content of 590.73% (d.b) or 85.52% (w.b) under Fayoum conditions by using heated air. Each unit consists of a flat-plate solar collector, which oriented and tilted with an optimum tilt angle and attached with drying chamber. The drying experiments were carried out to examine the effect of basil leaves thicknesses (2, 4 and 6 cm) and airflow rate (0.015 and 0.025 m3.sec-1) on the basil leaves drying rate. The obtained results indicated that the daily average total solar radiation flux incident on the tilted solar collector surface (29.30MJ. m-2.day-1) was greater than that incident on the horizontal surface (24.30 MJ.m-2.day-1) by 24.58%. The output higher air temperatures were obtained at the lower airflow rate whereas; the energy gained to the air from the solar collector was relatively higher at the higher airflow rate as compared with the lower airflow rate. Consequently, the solar collector with the higher airflow rate increased the overall thermal efficiency by 5.46% as compared to the lower airflow rate. The moisture content of dried basil leaves was strongly affected by the basil leaves thickness and the airflow rate. The final moisture content of dried basil leaves ranged from (11.52% to 14.58% d.b) depending on the drying temperature cycle. Very small changes were observed in the colour and shape of heated-air dried basil leaves as compared to that dried at direct sun rays.

Two field experiments were conducted at the farm of Kuotor - EL- Gharbia Governorate during 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 growing seasons to study the effect of five sowing methods [Khadir method, Afir method (the traditional method applied by most farmers), Drilling method in rows in flat land, Beds method and Pyramid (E and A) method] and three seeding rates (40, 60 and 80 kg seeds/fad.) on yield and yield components on wheat. Pyramid (E and A) sowing method was better for growing wheat plants and gradually increased grain yield/fad than Khadir, Afir, Drilling and Beds method (5.57, 4.35, 3.15 and 3.15%) in the combined data, respectively. the interactions between Pyramid and seed rates 60 kg/fad recorded the highest yield and its components as compared with Khadir, Afir, Drilling and Beds. Key words: wheat, sowing methods, grain yield and its components and seeding rates.

The experimental work was carried out through agricultural summer season of 2014 at the experimental farm of Gemmiza Research Station, Gharbiya governorate to study the effect of fertilizing doses and weeding methods on quality and productivity of fiber crops (Kenaf )in small farms. The fertilization and weeding management was studied as a function of change in fertilizing rates (30,45 and 60 Kg.N.fed-1),and constant soil moisture content was 20%(d.b) in average. Crop yield and operational costs as a machine measurements affected by change in fertilizing rates and weeding index .The experiment results reveled that the machine forward speed on hourly costs, it was clear that Data obtained showed that increasing the forward speed from 2.2 to 4 km/h increased the hourly cost from 155 to 159.8. L.E/Fed by applying the traditional method for weeding and fertilizing. While by using one pass method for weeding and fertilizing together there was a remarkable drop in hourly costs it was increased from 77.5 to 80 L.E/Fed as the forward speed increased from 2.2 up to 4 km/h respectively. Linear regression analysis was run to derive equations to predict hourly costs at different forward speed during fertilization and weeding treatments and the following equation represented the relationship Two pass:- y = 2.15x + 161.76 R2 = 0.74 One pass:- y = 1.466x + 74.85 R2 =0.27

This work was carried to investigate the chemicals characterization of strawberry fruits under using applications of gibberellic acid and citrate potassium on chemical properties of strawberry fruits at private farm in Shoni, Tanta, ELgharbia governorate, Egypt during March and April 2016 The aim of this work to predict maturity stage of strawberry fruits. Also study the change of the chemical properties including the total soluble solid (TSS), pH, acidity, (TSS/acidity), vitamin c and anthocyanin during maturity stage. The obtained results showed that, The lowest value of the total soluble solid (TSS), pH, acidity, (TSS/acidity), vitamin c and anthocyanin were as follow 4.7(Brix,%), 3.12, 0.48(%), 1.85, 15(mg/100g) and 4.84 (mg/100g) while the highest value of these properties were 11.17(Brix,%), 3.63, 3.94(%), 17.92, 104.22(mg/100g) and 23.39 (mg/100g). The pattern of changes was clearly observed from the absorption spectra of the green and red when strawberry is fully ripe the red pig¬ment full the fruit surface (anthocyanin) which measured at wavelength 535 nm.

Egypt ranked the fourth on the world in strawberry production. It is famous vegetable consumed freshly and as processed food in Egypt. The fruits were harvested in immature stage based on the fruit size and skin colour. This work was carried to monitoring the change in physical characterization of strawberry fruits under using applications of gibberellic acid and citrate potassium. Mean dimensions of orange fruits such as length, thickness and the width with mm of the fruits as a digital venire caliper and the means values of different measurement were used for calculating of physical properties. The strawberry fruits tested in laboratory of Agricultural Engineering Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Tanta University Egypt during Spring 2016 to predict maturity stage of strawberry fruits. The objective of the present study was to determine some physical properties of strawberry fruits under using different nutrition treatments (gibberellic acid 0,25 ppm)and citrate potassium (0,0.25,0.5 gm/L water) The study was revealed to the following main points: -The dimension including length, width, thickness and other physical properties such as Arithmetic diameter(Da),Geometric diameter (Dg) and weight . The results revealed that the maximum and the minimum value of these parameters were (45.5, 23.3 mm), (33.56, 19.72 mm), (29.7, 18.18 mm), (37.08, 20.28 mm), (36.52, 20.16mm) and (36.82, 2.3gm), respectively.

Two filed experiments were carried out at private Farm, Tanta, El-Gharbia Governorate, Egypt, to study the response of six Chickpea varieties to some nutrients i.e. without added (control), phospharine, humic acid and fulvic acid during the two successive growing winter seasons of 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 seasons. The experimental design was split plot design with three replications. The main plot was devoted to nutrients treatments and the sup- plot contained Chickpea varieties. Bio-fertilizer phospharine recorded the highest values for no. of pods/plant, seed weight/plant, seeds yield/fed. in both seasons. Giza 1 variety recorded the highest values in both seasons in no. of pods/plant, seed weight/plant, seeds yield/fed. The interaction between phospharine and Giza 1 recorded the highest values for no. of pods/plant, seed weight/plant, seeds yield/fed in both seasons. This study recomended that, the interaction phosphorain , humaice acid with giza 1 recorded the highest seed yield. Key words: Chickpea, varieties, phospharine, bio-fertilizer, humic acid and fulvic acid
