| Abstract | ||
| Two filed experiments were conducted in the two successive winter seasons of 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 in a sandy loam soil of a private farm of newely reclaimed soil at west of El-fashn, Beni Sweif Governorate to investigate the effect of seeds inoculation with phosphorine and application of compost fertilizer on the growth, yield and yield quality of the two pea cultivars “Lincoln” and “Victory Freezer”. The obtained results indicated that number and weight of nodules /pant were not significantly different in the two studied cultivars. On the other hand, the two cultivars were significantly different from each other in most studied characters, where cv. Victory Freezer was superior in almost all characters including total yield / fed. Phosphorine inoculation significantly increased number and weight of nodules/ plant, enhanced plant growth, total yield / fed. and seed’s chemical composition, i.e. protein and phosphorus percentage. Compost applications significantly affected most of the studied characters. The best application in this regards was when plants fertilized with half rate of recommended NPK in addition to 15 tons of compost / fed. Based on the obtained results, it may be recommended to grow cv. “Victory Freezer” after inoculation the seeds with phosphorine and fertilizing plants with half rate of the recommended NPK in addition to 15 tons of compost / fed. to increase the productivity and quality. Furthermore, minimizing the environmental pollution and the risk on human health as a result of reducing the chemical NPK fertilizers require for pea production. | ||
