| Abstract | ||
| A field experiment was carried out at the growth season (2010 – 2011) in two locations (Mosul and Kalak) using (R.C.B.D) design with three replicates each replicate containes (16) plots according to the required treatments i.e. two size of seed (large and small) two varieties (buhouth-106and Sara)and four levels of plant spacing(15,20,25 and30cm.). The results illustrated that the plants grown from large seeds were significantly superior in the oil percentage in both locations and seed index and hardness at Mosul location only.Buhouth106 significantly increased in test weight at two locations and in protein percentage in Mosul location. Sara variety significantly increased in Hardness at two locations and in seed index at Kalak location only. Seed index and ash percentage were superior at 30cm.plant space at two locations, It was observed that the value of protein percentage was higher at plant spacing 25 cm., also the value of oil percentage was higher in case of using 15cm. between plants at Kalak location.The second order interaction showed a significant effect of some physiochemical properties. | ||
