Abstract | ||||
The present investigation was conducted under conditions of newly reclaimed sandy soils irrigated using drip irrigation system at El-Bostan area, Nubaria region during the two successive winter seasons of 2001/02 and 2002/03. The trial was conducted to study the response of coriander plants (Corianthum sativum, L.) to mineral fertilization (M.F.) as 5 combinations of nitrogen fertilizer (N) and miaonutrients (M) foliary applied (Fe, Zn, and Mn) using two types of organic fertilizers ((IF.), farmyard manure (cattle, 10 m//fed) and thicken manure (chide, 5 m3/fed). Mineral fertilization (M.F.) treatments Included control (without mineral fertilization), 30 kg N/fed (LN), 30 kg N/fed + miaonutrients (LNM), 60 kg N/fed (HN), and 60 kg N/fed + micronuthents (HNM), all NP and K fertilizers were Injected through irrigation system (fertigated) as ammonium nitrate (33.5 % N), phosphoric add (85 % purity, 1.6 g/cm3 density) and potassium sulph ate (48 - 50 % K20), respectively. Generally, the obtained rest indicated that, the different treatments improved the vegetative growth (plant height (PH), number of trenches (BN)), yield and its components (number of umbels (UN), seed index (SI), fruit yield per plant and per redden (FYP, FYF), essential oil percentage and oil yield per plant and per redden (OYP, OYF) as compared to the control treatment (plants that were received only organic fertilizers)). The best results for the previous parameters were obtained from the treatment of cattle manure + HNM followed by the treatment of thicken manure + WM. Also coriander plants fruits concentration of N, P, K, Fe, Zn, and Mn nutrients were compared with the control treatment N, P and K use efficiencies (UE) for seed and oil production were affected significantly by O.F. type and mineral fertilization treatments. Fourteen components were identified in the coriander volatile oil by using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrum technique (GC-MS). These constituents differed in their percentage according to different treatments. Unalool was the major constituent, the highest values were obtained after adding cattle manure + HN followed by chidcen manure + LNM, then cattle manure + HNM. From the previous results we can concluded that by using sustainable agriculture roles under newly reclaimed land conditions, | ||||
