Two field experiments were conducted at a Private Farm near Aga, Dakahlia Governorate during two successive winter seasons of 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 to investigate the effect of bio-fertilizers inoculation method, some foliar application treatments and their interactions on vegetative growth characters, chemical constituents, yield and quality traits of pea (Pisum sativum L.). Four inoculation methods of bio-fertilizers (mixture of Rhizobium leguminosarum, Bacillus megatherium and Bacillus circulans) , i.e, without inoculation, seeds inoculation pre-sowing, soil inoculation after germination and dual inoculation (seeds plus soil) and four foliar application treatments (control, seaweed extract at 2.5 ml/l, ascorbic acid at 200 ppm and yeast extract at 5 g/l). The data were recorded for yield and its components (pod length, pods weight/plant, No. of pods/plant, No. of green seeds/pod, weight of 100 green seeds and total yield/ fed.). Chemical constituents (N, P and K%) in leaves and pods. Pods quality (carbohydrates, crude protein, reducing, non reducing sugar and total sugar).Obtained results showed that dual inoculation (seeds pre-sowing and soil after germination) combined with yeast extract as a foliar application surpassed other treatments in yield and its components, pods quality parameters and chemical constituents of leaves and pods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
