Two field experiments were carried out at one of the farm of EL Zawiah Zone , Libya during 2006 / 2007 and 2007/2008 season to study the response of barley plants cv California mariot to cheep manure (0, 50, 75 and 100 m 3 / hectare)and nitrogen fertilizer such as, urea (46 % N) (100 ,150 and 200 kg N / hectare). A split-plot design with three replicates was used in both growing seasons. The results revealed that, application of organic manure at the rate of 75m 3 /hectare gave highest values on vegetative characters(plant height, number of tillers/m 3 ,number of spikes/m 3 ,spike length and flag leaf blade area) and total chlorophyll, as well as yield and its components(1000-grain weight, grain yield Ardab/hectare and straw yield). By increasing the nitrogen fertilization level up to 200 kg N/hectare gave too the highest values of the characters above mentioned. Regarding the interaction effect, the treatment of 75m 3 cheep manure/hectare and 200kg N/hectare, was recorded the highest values of most studied characters in this respect.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
