Abstract

Two field experiments were carried out at Giza Experimental Agricultural Research Station, Agricultural Research Center in 1998 and 1999 growing seasons to study the effect of some microelements by seed coating method on yield quality and quantity, some morphological and physcicological characters of pearl millet (shandawil-1 cultivar). Treatments of microelements (i.e. Zn, Mn and Fe) at two rates 0.2 and 0.4 g/kg seed by grain coating method used with control treatment (seeds without microelements).                 Plant height, seasonal fresh fodder, crude protein, ash and chlorophyll A and B were increased significantly with application of Zn, Mn and Fe at the rate of 0.4 g/kg seed of all cuts. Seed coating by Fe and Zn at rate of 0.4 g/kg seed showed noticeable increment on dry yield, seasonal dry yield and leaf area at the three cuts. The highest plant height, leaf area, fresh fodder, dry fodder, crude protein, ash, chlorophyll A, B and up take of Zn were obtained by application of Zn at the rate of 0.4 g/kg seed of all cuts. Dry forage yield showed positive and high significant correlation with all characters under study except crude fiber percentage.
