| Abstract | ||||
| Two field experiments were conducted during 2016 and 2017 seasons at the Experimental Farm, Fac. Agric., Minia Univ. to study the effect of compost, mineral NPK and/or Effective microorganisms (E.M.) on the performance and chemical constituents of bermuda grass grown in sandy soil. Obtained results revealed that compost, especially when added at the high level (22.5 ton/fed), as well as, 75 % NPK + E.M. caused considerable increase in all studied vegetative growth characters, as well as, the three photosynthetic pigments and N, P and K %. However, the high compost level (22.5 ton/fed) in combination with the dual fertilization treatment (75 % NPK + E.M.) resulted in the highest overall grown and the best performance of bermuda turf grass grown in sandy soil. | ||||
