| Abstract | ||
| A seventy days pot experiment was conducted in season of 2002 to study the effect of farmyard manure (FYM) and chicken manure (CM) individually and lor together combined with or without a biofertilizer (SF) of Azospirillum brasilense and Bacillus megaterium var. p < /em>hosphaticum on wheat growth grown on sandy, calcareous and clayey soils. Results revealed that all manure treatments whether combined with biofertilizers or not led to significant increase in wheat dry weights. Weights of plants grown on clayey soil were higher than the corresponding grown in sandy or calcareous soils. Response of wheat to organic manure treatments was more pronounced in sandy and calcareous soils than in the clayey one. Although N, P and K contents of wheat plants were higher in the clayey soil. yet the response to organic manuring was more obvious in sandy and calcareous soils. Organic manures application enhanced the biological activity in the remained soil in terms of dehydrogenase activity, C02 evolution and total bacterial count. | ||
