The experiment included 8 treatments, the recommended mineral fertilizer (MF) as a control, Natural fertilizer (NF), i.e. 4, 6 and 8 tons of compost as organic sources were applied once through soil preparation (O). These treatments were applied at two equal splits at soil preparation and 30 days after sowing (S). The same rate of (N: P: K, 50:45:60 kg/ fed) was applied either in MF or NF treatment. The N source in both treatments was ammonium sulfate, super phosphate (P) and potassium sulfate (K) in MF treatment and phosphate rock (P) and natural potassium (K) in NF treatment. Results showed that MF, NF, 4 tons compost O... Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Compost and its application in Egypt (Said Shehata,Omaima Darwish and Yasser Ahmed)
