Effect of Bio and Organic Fertilization on Chemical Constituents of Pea Plants and Availability of Npk.
Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of two sources of organic manures (Farmyard manure and chicken manure) as main plots and 3 levels of Effective Microorganisms (EM) in foliar application (0, 1, 2 L.fed-1) as sub-plots on soil characteristics and Pea (Pisum sativum L) chemical constituents. Six treatments were arranged in split block design with 3 replicates. Results indicated that using organic manures as FYM and chicken manure recorded the highest values of chlorophyll content, N PK content, crude protein, total carbohydrates, total sugar and vitamin C. In addition, concentrations of NPK mg kg-1 soil were significantly increased with using chicken manures. Also, the results showed that the mean values of all mentioned parameters increased with increasing EM at rate of 2L.fed-1 comparing with the untreated plant. Best results for interaction between the treatments which recorded the highest values were obtained using chicken manure with foliar application of 2L fed-1 EM.
