Two field experiment were carried out in the Experimental Farm of Sids Horticulture Research Station Beni-Sueif Governorate in summer seasons of 2011 and 2012 to study the response of tomato plants cv. (strain B) to microbein inoculation treatments, i.e. without , one dose at the time of transplanting or two doses at the time of transplanting and 20 days later and nitrogen fertilizer at the rates of 60, 80, 100 and 120Kg N/ fed combined with organic manure as compost at the rate of 4, 6, 8 and 10 t / fed. The obtained results showed that inoculation with microbein at two doses improved plant height, number of branches, plant dry weight, total chlorophyll, N, P and K contents of leaves, total fruit yield and its components, fruit dry matter percentage, fruit length and diameter, fruit thickness and TSS% in the two growing seasons, and also it increased Vit. C in the first season, as compared to one dose or control treatments.Nitrogen application at the rate of 100Kg N/ fed combined with compost at the rate of 8 t /fed gave the highest values of all studied characters in the two seasons. The interaction between biofertilization and nitrogen fertilizer combined with compost treatments showed that inoculation with microbein at two doses and nitrogen at the rate of 100 Kg N/ fed + compost at the rate of 8 t /fed increased the values of all the studied characters in the two seasons.Accordingly, inoculation of tomato cv. "strain B" seedlings with microbein with two doses as just before transplanting and 20 days from transplanting and fertilizing with nitrogen at the rate of 100 Kg N/ fed combined with compost at the rate of 8 t / fed could be recommended to obtain the best results.
The work was carried out at Sids Horticulture Research Station, Beni-Sueif Governorate during the two successive fall seasons of 2011and 2012 to study the effect of organic manures, i.e., sheep manure ,farmyard manure and mixture between of both them ( a mixture at 1:1) at the levels of 10 and 20 m 3 /fed in presence of fertilization with rock phosphate and feldspar rates viz., (15P 2 O 5 + 25K 2 O , 30P 2 O 5 + 50K 2 O and 45P 2 O 5 + 75K 2 O) kg/fed on plant growth, total chlorophyll in leaves, protein and fiber percentage in green pods, green pod and dry seed yields and their components as well as chemical constituents in dry seeds of common bean cv. "Bronco"Results showed that the application of organic manures had no significant effect on plant height and leaves total chlorophyll during the two growing seasons. Sheep manure produced higher number of branches, protein percentage in green pods, pod length, number of seeds per pod and seed contents of phosphorus and potassium in the two growing seasons, Also, it increased leaf area in the second season, nitrogen and protein percentage of dry seeds in the first season. Also, farmyard manure improved fiber percentage in the two seasons. Whereas, applying sheep manure + farmyard manure significantly increased plant dry weight, diameter and weight of green pods, green pod yield , number of pods per plant, weight of 100-seeds and dry seed yield during the two growing seasons. Also, it gave the highest dry pod weight and weight of seeds per pod in the first season.Organic manure level at 20 m 3 /fed resulted in the highest of all plant growth characters, leaves contents of chlorophyll, protein percentage in green pods, green pods and seed yields and their components as well as dry seed contents of nitrogen, protein, phosphorus and potassium during the two growing seasons. On the other hand, organic manure level at the rate of 10 m 3 /fed increased fiber percentage in green pods in the two growing seasons.Fertilization with rock phosphate and feldspar with high rate ( 45P 2 O 5 + 75K 2 O kg/fed) markedly increased plant height, number of branches, leaf area, protein and fiber percentage in green pods and seed contents of nitrogen, protein, phosphorus and potassium during the two growing seasons. Plant dry weight, total chlorophyll in leaves, green pod and dry seed yields and their components were significantly increased with rock phosphate combined with feldspar at 30P 2 O 5 + 50 K 2 O kg /fed during the two growing seasons.It may be recommended to fertilize common bean cv. "Bronco" with sheep manure + farmyard manure at the rate of 20 m 3 /fed (from total mixed) and rock phosphate combined with feldspar at the rate of 30P 2 O 5 + 50K 2 O kg /fed , to produce high green pod, dry seed yields and their components.
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.
