Abstract | ||||
coincident application of organic fertilizer is frequently recommended firstly for improving biological, physical and chemical properties of soil and secondly to get clean agricultural products free of macro chemical fertilizers. Two field experiments were conducted at the Agricultural Research Center, South Valley Agricultural Research Station (Toshka), Aswan Governorate, Egypt. These experiments were conducted during the two successive winter seasons to investigate the addition of filter mud cake (zero, 10 and 20 m3/fad) associated with zero, 15, 30 or 45 Kg N /fad on growth characters, yield and yield components of faba bean plants grown on Toshka soils The results indicated that the addition of filter mud cake(FMC), as an organic manure had significant effects on number of branches/plant, plant height ,number of pods / plant, seed yield (kg/fad) , straw yield (kg/fad) , biological yield (kg/fad) and 100-seed weight. The highest values were recorded by using 20 m3 FMC/ fad. Also increasing nitrogen fertilization levels from zero to 45 kg N/fad gave the highest values of growth characters, yield and its components and NPK contents in seeds and straw as well as NPK uptake. The combination of 30 kg N / fad associated with 20 m3 FMC/ fad could be applied to get high quantity and quality of faba bean yield cultivated under Toshka condition. | ||||
