Abstract | ||||
This study aims to investigate the effect of unveil newly organic fertilizers: a mix of 45% from both plant compost and chicken manure together and 10% Azolla (OFAZ) at 7 t/fed. rate, with foliar spraying on plant or soil fertigation by bio-supplements: YS (yeast extract), CBE (coffee powder, banana peels, and eggshells mix), and lactic acid bacteria (LAC), respectively, at 4 and 6 times per season for enhancing production of wheat variety 'Giza168'. OFAZ, YS, CBC and LAC were offered as bio-friendly fertilizers to increase vegetative and wheat production for sustainable agriculture & food security. Two field experiments were conducted in Nubaria Agricultural Research Station farm, during two winter growing seasons, 2022/2023 and 2023/2024. Eight treatments were applied by 4 replicates and arranged in (RCBD). Vegetative, productivity, and quality parameters were increased in all organic treatments with bio-supplements. Highest significant values were plant length (121.2cm), number of spikes (559.3/m²), spike length (13cm), 1000-grain weight (57.8g), total yield of grains (3.4 tons fed⁻¹), straw (5.2 tons fed⁻¹), and biological yields (8.6 tons fed⁻¹) at T6 (OFAZ+YS at 6 times/season as a foliar spraying) more than inorganic treatment (T1) control. As well as, highest significant values were record of P, K, N, proteins, starch, and carbohydrate %, in grains and straw were exhibited at T6. From the results obtained, we can be recommended using OFAZ + YS 6 times/season as foliar spray during vegetative growing stage to increase wheat production of grains, straw and their quality, and minimize environmental hazard impact in sandy soil conditions. | ||||
