Abstract: Two field experiments were conducted at Qalabshu, Agriculture Research Station, during two successive seasons of 2006/2007 and 2007/2008. The work aimed to study the response of faba bean plant to inorganic & organic-N and its combined fertilizers with some compounds as foliar applications on growth, yield and mineral composition. It was found that :- 1 The foliar application of (N, P and K ) gave the highest mean values for yield with mixed plots (25% of mineral + 25% of FYM both of recommended doses), but the effect of inorganic & organic-N and their combined gave the equal mean values of phytic acid concentrations with N, P and K foliar application treatment. 2- The inorganic-N Fertilization (100% mineral of recommended dose , 8 kg N/fed) gave the highest mean values of N and K - uptake, but the combined Fertilization gave the highest mean values of P-uptake with N,P and K foliar application treatment. 3- The inorganic-N fertilizer gave the highest mean values for Fe-uptake, but the organic-N fertilization (100% of FYM of recommended dose , 10 ton/Fed) gave the highest mean values for Zn, Mo and Co- uptake, in contrast, the combined Fertilizers gave the highest mean values for Mn- uptake, obtained with N.P and K foliar application treatment, except Co-uptake for the B, Mo and Co foliar applications treatment. From these discussion , it could be concluded that the inorganic & organic-N and the combined Fertilization with the (N,P,K ) treatmeants as foliar application are important for obtaining a high and good quality in yield and its components, while, decreased phytic acid in seeds as the result of using yeast as fertilizer .
