| Abstract | ||||
| In this study, seedlings one year old of Cupressus sempervirens, planted in the nursery of Woody Trees Res. Dept., Hort. Res. Inst., Giza, Egypt. For two successive years (2011 and 2012) to investigate the best bio-fertilization treatments and the suitable doses on growth of Cupressus by "Biogein or Rhizobacterien at the rates of 2.50, 5.00 and 7.50 g/ bag as well as chemical fertilizer with "Viva Rose" as a foliar spray at the rates of 1.00, 2.00 & 4.00 g/l .Seedlings were grown in 14 cm diameter black polyethylene bag filled with a mixture of sand plus loam (1:1, v. /v.) were used in this investigation . Results indicated that plant height and stem diameter, showed a significant increased by adding Biogien at the rate 2.50g/bag, compared to control. Spraying the seedlings with "Viva Rose" at the rate of 4.00ppm induced utmost means of number of branches and leaves /plant, compared with the control and other treatments. While untreated plants gave the longest of root length /plant. Combination treatment "Biogein plus Rhizobacterien at the rate 2.50 plus 1.00ppm "Viva Rose" recorded high increases of fresh and dry weights of aerial parts "stem and leaves". However, fresh and dry weights of roots were increased significantly by addition Biogien at the rate of 5.00g/bag and 1.00ppm of "Viva Rose". Chemical compositions were highly variance in response to all fertilizer treatments compared with the untreated plants. Biogien at the rate of 2.50g/bag level increased significantly chlorophyll a, total chlorophyll" a +b", N% and nutrient uptake. Meanwhile, Rhizobacterien at the rate of 2.50g/bag elevated contents of leaves from chlorophyll b, carotenoids, and total indoles. Total phenols increased by "Viva Rose" at the rate of 4.00ppm, but spraying "Viva Rose" at the rate of 2.00 ppm increased P%. While, P, K % were highly increased at the rate of 5.00g/bag Rhizobacterien. From the obtained results it could be recommended, that the addition of Biogien at 2.5 g/bags to Cupressus sempervirens seedlings (grown in 14 cm diameter bags thrice with one month interval from "March to May" during the growing season) resulted in the best and strong seedlings, besides to short the time in nursery in order to realization the coast of seedlings producing and to save our environment. | ||||
