Abstract
Two field experiments were carried out at El-Serw Agriculture Research Station, Damietta Governorate. ARC, Egypt, during the two seasons of 2019 and 2020 to study ways to decrease the environmental pollution and developing the most proper combination of mineral, organic and bio-fertilizers to increase productivity and quality of sudangrass "hybrid 102" also economic evaluation of studied treatments. Treatments were distributed in a Randomized Complete Block design in 3 replicates as follows: T1 (recommended NPK 100%), T2(75% of NPK + 3 ton fed-1 compost) ,T3 (75% of NPK + humic acid), T4 (75% of NPK + bio fertilizer), T5(75% of NPK + 3 ton fed-1 compost+ humic acid + bio fertilizer),T6 (50 % of  NPK+ 6 ton/ fed Compost), T7 (50% of NPK+ humic acid), T8 (50% of NPK + bio fertilizer) and T9(50% of NPK +6 ton fed-1 compost+ humic acid + bio fertilizer), Data over both seasons declared that the fertilization affected significantly all traits. Using T5 recorded the highest values of growth; yield and quality, treatment T1 rank second. Whereas, the lowest values were obtained from T6. A feasibility study proved that forage is economically advisable under treatment T5, where net farm return per year and net return per invested one L.E. were 22973.4 and 2.56 L.E., respectively. Integrating organic and bio-fertilizers with mineral fertilization are economically better than using the recommended mineral fertilization only (100-150-50 kg/fed N-P-K respectively).  It is possible to replace 25% from NPK with or mixture with organic and biofertilization
