| Abstract | ||
| In Egypt a simple and economical method to get rid of industrial by product particularly vinasse and filter mud is to use them through special means for agricultural practices in more comprehensive program of land reclamation. Greenhouse experiment was conducted to assess and evaluate the nutritional value of vinasse and filter mud. The obtained data revealed that addition of vinasse and filter mud to sandy soil increased the productivity of wheat plant The results indicated that application of vinasse ( 20mVl ) gave the highest yield production. The addition of filter mud compind with vinasse caused a significant increase in both grain and straw of wheat as compared with the addition only of either vinasse or filter mud .The data pointed out that filter mud application gave a slight increase in total nitrogen grains content only. However, application of vinasse at rate of 0.5, 1and 2% had approximately the same effect on N content in both grains and straw as compared with control . Results also, showed that pronounced increase in P with vinasse application at a rate of 0.5 %. Finally, it could be concluded that vinasse and filter mud are a good source of available N, P and K when applied to soil and its application may reduce the amount of fertilizers by about for optimum wheat yield. | ||
