| Abstract | ||||
| A field experiment was conducted during 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 seasons in Sharona Village, Eastern Desert Road, Maghagha City, Minia Governorate, to study the effect of compost fertilization levels (0.0, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 t/fed.) and planting dates (15th September, 1st October and 15th October), as well as their interactions on fenugreek plants performance. The results indicated that all treatments of compost led to significant (p < 0.05) increase in plant height, leaves number/plant, number of pods/plant and seed yield/plant as well as protein and saponine (%) as compared with the control. The treatment of 10.0 t/fed. compost was superior than the other treatments. Planting dates had significant (p < 0.05) effect on vegetative growth parameters, yields and some chemical composition. The suitable sowing date of fenugreek plants was 1st October for all previous traits. Generally, it could be recommended that sowing fenugreek plants in 1st October and fertilizing plants with 10.0 t/fed. compost would obtain the good growth and yield productivity of fenugreek plant under Minia Governorate conditions. | ||||
