| Abstract | ||||
| Two fietd experiments were executed in sandy loam soil at El-Tahrir province Seclor during the summer growing season of 2004 to evaluate the effect of a natural soil amendment enriched with SOme mineral amendments and biofertilizers on groW1h. yield and some nutrient status or corn and peanut crops under sprinkler irrigation system. Four bio-organic conditioner levels (zero. 2.5, 5.0 and 7,5 tons fed") were used in both field experiments as compared the use of 10 tons fed" FYM. as a traditional organic fertilizer, Hair dose of N·fertilization (60 kg N fed") was added to corn planls in combinalion with differenl levels of organic materials, except for the recommended treatment (which received 120 kg N fed" + 5.0 tons fed" FYM), Seeds of peanut were inoculated with Bradyrtlizobium spp, (Arachis) as a nitrogen fixing bacteria in combinalion with differenl levels of organic materials, except for the recommended treatment that received a starter dose of N (20 kg N fed"), Corn field experiment results showed that addition of bio-organic conditioner (al rates of 5,0 or 7,5 Ions fed-') ;n combination with half dose of N-fertilizer exhibited significant increases in all vegetative groW1h parameters, Data concerning the corn yield as well as their crude protein and rnicronutrients concentration reconfirmed the stimulative effect of such combined I reatments , Results of peanut experiment showed that application of bio-orqanic conditioner (5.0 or 7.5 tons led") along with Bradyrtlizobium inoculation led to a suostantiat increases ;n numeer and dry weight of nodular tissues. dry weight of shoots and roots as well as lolal-N content and micronutrients concentration. Also. data concerning tile peanut yield as well as crude protein and micronutrients concentration confirmed again the positive effect of such combination. II is worthy to note that the bio-organic conditioner product not only acts as a soil amendment but also acts as bio-orqenic fertilizers and plant growth promoting Rhilobacteria. This means that this p < /em>roduct may enhance the growth. yield and its chemical composition either in legumes or non-legumes under sandy soil condittons. | ||||
