Abstract | ||
A field experiment on faba bean (Vicia Faba) was conducted at Abu-Rawash Experimental Station, Giza. Treatments were three irrigation intervals (4, 6 and 8 days) with sewage water and three concentrations of zinc (0 , 0.4 and 0.8%) as zinc sulphate. Crop production showed a high response by using sewage water for irrigation. Both straw and seed of faba bean were significantly increased by decreasing the intervals between irrigations, i. e. the yield took the following order : 4 >6 > 8 day. In addition, irrigation on every 4 days and 0.04% Zn SO4 solution gave the best yield of faba bean (1.908 tons seed/feddan and 8.860 tons straw/feddan). This clarifies that the moisture content of sandy soils is the most important factor for their productivity. | ||
