A significant enhancement were recorded in treatment T
8 in relations to Plant stand, plant height, number of tillers, number of leaves, number of ear bearing tillers, days to 50 % flowering days and maturity, length of ear, girth of ear, weight of ear, grain weight per ear, test weight, biological yield and harvest index. The maximum grain yield was reported in treatment T
8 (188.9). However, the lowest grain production was reported in treatment T
0 (11.6) followed by T
