Abstract
A field experiment was carried out in a loamy claim soil for the season 99 and 2000 to study the effect of levels of nitrogen fertilizer and seeding rates on local millet. The split plot design has been used with three replicates according to completely randomized design which includes four levels of nitrogen (0,80,160,240 kg N/Ha) and the rectangular of pricepcil pieces. Meanwhile the secondary piece includes the seeding rates of (12,16,20,24 kg/ha). The results show that the nitrogen level of 240 kg N/ ha affects significantly all the studied characters (plant height, number of panicles/ plant, number of grain/ panicle, straw yield and the grain yield which gave (2.02-2.06) tan/ha for the two seasons .The seeding rates of 16 kg/ha causes significantly effect on the characteris of grain yield which gave (1.84-1.92) tan/ha for the two season.The use of 24 kg/ha has significant effect on the characters of straw yield which gave (11.3-11.2) tan/ha for the two season. There was interaction between levels of nitrogen fertilizing and seeding rates on the characters of grain yield (2.25-2.37) tan/ha when used gave (N 240, 16 kg/ha) for the two season.
