Two field experiments were carried out in the experimental farm, in El-Khattara region, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt during 1997/98 and 1998/99 seasons. The first experiment studied the effect of three nitrogen fertilizer leavels and Cerealin (N-biofertizer) on growth and grain yield of three wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.). The second experiment investigated the influence of 3 micronutrients (Fe, Zn, and Mn) as well as their combinations and Nutrichem (foliar fertilizer) on some yield attributes and grain yield of wheat (Sakha 8 cultivar). In the first experiment Gemmeiza 3 cultivar recorded the highest dry weight of plant, largest flag leaf area and produced the highest grain yield in comparison with Sakha 69 and Sakha 8 (the last cultivar had the lowest values of analysed traits). Irrespectively of cultivars, N-fertilization significantly increased dry weight of plants, flag leaf area and yield of grain (up to dose of 238 kg N/ha). In all cultivars the N-biofertilizer (Cerealin) showed positive effect on plants dry mass weight, flag leaf area, and grain yield. In the second experiment addition of Fe+Zn+Mn as well as foliar application of Nutrichem increased significantly 1000 grain weight and grain yield
