Abstract | ||||
Two field trials were conducted on Sandy loam and calcareous soils at Agric. Res. Stations of Ismailia and Nubaria, during the growing season 2003/2004 to study the effect of spraying NPK with or without micronutrients on the growth, yield, yield components and seed protein percentage of faba bean crop. Generally, foliar spray with P and/or K with or without micronutrients, increased dry matter production, nutrients uptake, seed yield and seed protein percentage. However, the maximum figures were obtained when the mixture of 2% N as urea + 2% P as superphosphate + 1 % K as potassium sulphate + chelate of Fe, Mn, and Zn was used, two times (after 50 and 70 days from sowing). Results, also showed that the response of faba bean, in general, varied according to the location, soil fertility, kind and rate of the added fertilizers. | ||||
