1992
Shoaib, Y.O. (Agriculture Research Centre, El-Marj (Libyan Arab Jamahiriya))
An investigation was carried out with three sowing dates (7 December, 2 and 24 February), using two varieties (Safsaf-1 and Safsaf-3) and five seeding rates (160, 220, 280, 340, and 400 plants/m2) in the 1985-88 seasons at El-Safsaf Research Station, Libya. Sowing early (7 December) produced a significantly higher grain yield/ha than did late sowing (2 and 24 February). There was a linear increase in grain yield with increasing plant density; 400 plants/m2 produced the highest grain yield. There were no differences between the two varieties
