Abstracts |
Two field experiments were carried out at the experimental farm of the faculty of Agriculture (Saba Basha) Alexandria University, during 2006 and 2007 summer seasons. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of blue green algae (BGA) and A-mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation (Biofertilization) and nitrogen application on growth yield and its components of some rice cultivars, namely 'Sakha 101' and 'Giza 178'. The experimental design used was a split plot with four replicates. Both cultivars were randomly distributed in the main plots. The sub-plots were assigned to four fertilization treatments: 1) 44kg N/fed (control); 2) BGA [2 packages of 500g of mixed cyanobacteria groups/fed.; a commercial product] + 22kg N/fed; 3) AMF inoculation [100ml/plant of infected roots] = 22kg N/fed; 4) BGA+AMF+22kg N/fed. Sakha 101 had the highest values for all studied characters in both seasons. Treatment 4, followed by treatment 3, had the highest significant effects on all the studied characters in both rice cultivars during both seasons; treatment 4 resulted in the highest growth, yield and yield components of Sakha 101. |
