Abstracts |
Two field experiments were conducted in calcareous soil during the winter seasons of 2002 and 2003 at Nubaria, Alexandria, Egypt to evaluate the effects of biological (Rhizobium leguminosarum, Azotobacter chroococcum, arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM, Glomus macrocarpum), and phosphate solubilizing bacterium (PSB, Bacillus megaterium)), organic (farmyard manure (FYM) at 0 and 6 t/fed) and mineral fertilizers (NPK at 0-0-48 and 15-30-48 kg/fed) on the growth, yield and nutrient uptake of faba bean and wheat. Data were recorded for faba bean dry weight, nodules per plant, nodule weight per plant, 100-seed weight, yield and N and P uptake as well as wheat dry weight, 1000-seed weight, yield and N and P uptake. In general, all treatments increased all parameters compared with the untreated control. Application of FYM with bioinoculants + mineral fertilizers was not profitable for faba bean compared with bioinoculants + mineral fertilizers without FYM. On the other hand, application of FYM was profitable for the wheat crop. [1 feddan=0.42 ha]. |
