EFFECT OF CHEMICAL AND ORGANIC SOIL FERTILIZERS AND THEIR INTERACTIONS WITH SOME FOLIAR FERTILIZERS ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF BROAD BEAN (VICIA FABA L)

Field experiment was conducted at the field of Agriculture College, Al-Qasim Green University at the agricultural season 2014/2015 to study the effect of two soil fertilizers (compound 18-18-18- at the rate of 200 kg.ha-1and sheep manure as organic fertilizer at the rate of 10 tons.ha-1) as well as control, and their interaction with foliar fertilizer of sea weed extract and urea as well as control (without the spray) on broad bean plants. Randomized Complete Block Design was used with three replication. The experimental unit contained 3 ridges (3m long and 80 cm apart, planted on both sides at distance of 25 cm) in saline soil (9.6dS.m-1). The results showed that chemical or organic soil fertilization led to increase plant height, plant branches number, plant leaves, leaf chlorophyll content and leaf percentage content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium significantly compared to control treatment. Add compost Chemical. On the other foliar fertilizer caused a significant increase in all traits above compared to control (without spraying). The interaction between soil and foliar fertilizers had a significant effect on all traits above
