“…Meanwhile, the minimum values of these characters were obtained from the sand medium with 0 NPK in the two seasons. These results are consistent with previous studies of Demirkiran and Cengiz (2010); Sarker et al (2012) and Shekhany (2017).…”

This study was carried out during the 2019 and 2020 seasons at the Agricultural Research Station of Al-Marashda to study the effect of three types of growing media and four levels of NPK fertilization on the growth characteristics and chemical composition of the seedlings of Inga edulis trees. The experiment comprised four NPK treatments; 0 (control), 1.5, 3, and 4.5g NPK/ pot. The applied growing media; sand, clay, and sand: clay (1:1 v/v). It was set in a split-plot design with four replicates; each contained four plastic pots. The main plot included the three growing media, the subplot included the four mineral fertilization treatments; to give 12 treatments. It's obvious that planting of I. edulis seedlings in the sand: clay growing medium resulted in the highest values of growth parameters. Regarding the effects of the used treatments on the leaf content of nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, chlorophyll a & b, phenols, and flavonoids, it is clear that growing seedlings in the sand: clay mixture; with 4.5 g/ pot of NPK fertilization gives the highest values of these components. It can be concluded that to obtain vigorous seedlings with a high content of nutrients, phenols, and flavonoids of Inga edulis, they should be grown in a mixture of sand and clay (1: 1 v/v) with monthly fertilizing by 4.5 g/ pot of NPK.

Viruses limit sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) production worldwide. Many sweetpotato landraces in East Africa are, however, largely virus‐free. Moreover, some plants infected by the prevalent Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV) may be able to revert to virus‐free status. In this study, we analysed reversion from SPFMV, Sweet potato virus C, Sweet potato mild mottle virus, Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV) and Sweet potato leaf curl Uganda virus using the indicator plant I. setosa and PCR/reverse‐transcriptase PCR. We also investigated environmental factors (temperature and soil nutrients) that may influence reversion from virus infection. We tested reversion in the East African cultivars New Kawogo, NASPOT 1 and NASPOT 11, and the United States cultivars Resisto and Beauregard. Reverted plants were asymptomatic and virus was undetectable in assayed parts of the plant. After graft inoculation, only the East African cultivars mostly reverted at a high rate and from most viruses though cultivar Beauregard fully reverted following sap inoculation with Sweet potato virus C. None of the tested cultivars fully reverted from single or double infections involving SPCSV, and reversion was only observed in co‐infections involving potyviruses. Root sprouts derived from SPFMV‐reverted plants were also virus free. Reversion generally increased with increasing temperature and by improved soil nutrition. Overall, these results indicate variation in reversion by cultivar and that the natural ability of sweetpotato plants to revert from viruses is malleable, which has implications for both breeding and virus control.
