| Abstract | ||||
| The field experiments were conducted at Kafr EI-Wekala, Sherpin, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt during 2001 and 2002 summer seasons to study the effect of different organic fertilizers, mineral fertilizers and biofertilizer (EM,) on growth, yield and root rot disease of eggplant. The results could be summarized as follows:- Generally, using organic fertilizers with mineral fertilizers and EM, biofertilizer resulted in the highest results than using it without EM, biofertilizer. On the other hand, using 50% mineral fertilizer with 50% chicken manure exhibited the best results on growth plant characters (stem length, No. of shoots, plant fresh and dry weights and total yield followed by 50% mineral combination with 50% of other organic fertilizer combinations (farmyard manure without litter, farmyard manure with litter and compost, respectively). In the same time, the effect of organic fertilizers with or without EM, biofertilizer, the highest results were by using 50% mineral fertilizer + 50 chicken manure (10%), followed by farmyard manure without litter (10-15%), then tarrnyerc manure with litter (15-20%) and compost (20-25%). Using organic fertilizer without EM, biofertilizer gave little results than using it with EM, biofertilizer, In the same time, chicken manure gave the best results from high to low dose. Concerning the effect of organic fertilizer with or without EM, biofertilizer on root rot disease severity, the chicken manure gave the best effect followed by farmyard manure without litter than farmyard with litter and compost when adding EM, biofertilizer than without it. The total counts of soil-borne fungi in thousand colonies per one gram of dried soil, the chicken manure gave the best effect than mineral fertilizer, farmyard manure without .Iitter, farmyard manure with litter and compost, respectively. Adding EM, biofertilizer to organic fertilizer gave best results than without it. | ||||
