“…These results ascribed to the role of compost in improving vegetative growth, besides compost is a source of slow release nutrients, and contains a number of macro and micronutrients, and consequently high accumulation of dry matter which resulted increase pod yield per unit area and increase all yield components. These results are harmony with those of Abou El-Hassan et al (2017) and Bucagu et al (2017).…”

“…Otherwise, decreased the concentrations of Cd 2+ and NO 3 in plant leaves, pods and seeds of common bean. On the other hand, Abou El-Hassan et al (2017) showed that all treatments of compost and vermicompost without mineral fertilizers decreased all vegetative characters, early and total yield of green beans plants and nitrate content of green bean pods. Bucagu et al (2017) found that application of organic fertilizers significantly increased leaf area, plant height, number of leaves, pods, weight of pods and total pod yield of snap bean.…”

Two field experiments were conducted at the private field in El-Zarka City, Damietta Governorate, Egypt, during 2016 and 2017 seasons to evaluate the effects of organic fertilization rates (compost rates) and foliar spraying by some biostimulant substances on yield and its components,growth as well as quality of snap bean (Contender cultivar). A split-plot with three replicates was the experimental design. The vertical-plots to three compost rates i.e. without compost (control treatment), 50 % of the recommended dose (2 tons compost/fed) and 100 % of the recommended dose (4 tons compost/fed).The horizontal plots were devoted to four treatments of foliar spraying with some biostimulant substances i.e. foliar spraying with brassinolid at the rate of 10 ppm, moringa extract at the rate of 200 ppm, chitosan at the rate of 200 ppm and tap water (control treatment). The most important results can be summarized as follows: The highest values of vegetative growth characters, pod yield and its components as well as quality of snap bean pods were resulted from fertilizing with (4 tons compost/fed) 100 % .On the contrary, the lowest values of growth characters, pod yield and its components and chemical composition of snap bean pods were obtained from plants not treated with compost (control treatment). Foliar spraying snap bean plants three times with 200 ppm chitosan exceeded all foliar spraying with some biostimulant substances and resulted the highest values of vegetative growth characters, pod yield and its components as well as quality of snap bean pods. Followed by foliar spraying with brassinolid at the rate of 10 ppm and then moringa extract at the rate of 200 ppm. Whereas, the lowest values of vegetative growth characters, pod yield and its components as well as quality of snap bean pods were resulted with control treatment (spraying with tap water).It can be concluded that organic fertilizing with 4 tons compost/fed and foliar spraying three times with chitosan at the rate of 200 ppm folloued by spraying with brassinolid 10 ppm in order to obtain high yield and its components,growth as well as quality of snap bean (Contender cultivar).

“…Although, compost is so important for enhancing soil properties but it is not enough to provide the plant nutrition during the growing season, it must combined with other mineral fertilizers. These results are matched with those of Mortensen, (1986), Ganie et al (2009) du Plessis et al (2009, Medany et al (2009) and Mondal et al (2016) and disagreed with those of Abou El-Hassan et al (2017) and Fouda et al (2017). On the other hand, Plant nutrients absorption efficiency depends on the microclimate surrounding plant whither root system or foliage parts so, the stability of climate conditions in the greenhouse gave the advantage to produce healthier plats than open field.…”

“…Application of vermicompost or compost with only 50% of mineral fertilizer gave the highest yield and equaled full dose of mineral fertilizer (Fouda el al. (2017) and Abou El-Hassan et al (2017). Using Rhizobium, Azotobacter and phosphorus solubilizing weather individual or combined enhanced the plant growth, flowering and yield of bean plants and save high amount of nitrogen fertilization led to increase the economic return Ganie et al (2009) and Abdel-Aziz and Ismail (2016).…”

A field experiment was conducted under open field and net-covered greenhouse at El-Qanater Research Station Farm in Qalubiya Governorate, affiliated to Horticulture Research Institute, ARC Egypt, along two successive early summer seasons of 2020 and 2021 to investigate the effect of different types of bio fertilizers, compost and NPK on growth and yield of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The population fluctuation of sap-sucking insect pests as aphid, Aphid gosspyii (Glov.), and white fly, Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) attacking common bean were studied. The obtained results indicated that the maximum air temperature ( o C) was decreased, but minimum air temperature ( o C) and the relative humidity % were increased under net-covered greenhouse compared with open field. The growth parameters i.e., plant length, number of leaves, number of branches, leaf area, stem diameter, fresh and dry weight were increased under net-covered greenhouse compare to open field. NPK content of leaves as well as yield and its components were increased compared with open field conditions. The half dose of NPK (50%) and nitrobein or Phosphoren gave the highest values of growth, nutrient content and yield, followed by the full dose of mineral fertilizer (100% NPK) compared with compost and control treatments. Using bio-fertilizers enhanced nutrients absorption for plants duo to the ability of those microorganism to solubilize the unavailable minerals in the soil and increased the efficiency of mixed dose of NPK fertilizer compared to individual full dose of NPK. The statistical analysis of the obtained data revealed that there were significant differences in white fly and aphid stages among most of the tested treatments under field conditions and green house. The highest infestation rates by whitefly and aphids were recorded at NPK fertilizer treatment, and the lower rates infestation were recorded at B.t and half recommended rate of NPK + Nitrobein treatments, under field conditions of 2020/2021 season. The highest reduction percentages of whitefly and aphid populations were recorded in the treatments of B.t, resulting 66.35, 59.71, 63.78 and 75.82 % under open field and green house conditions of the first and second seasons, for white fly, and 70.76, 69.66, 51.39 and 89.9 % for aphid respectively, followed by the treatments of half recommended rate of NPK + Nitrobein and half recommended rate NPK + Phosphoren. On the other hand, the lowest reduction percentages were recorded in treatments of one recommended rate of NPK and compost under open field and green house conditions of the first and second seasons.

“…The undesirable effects of chemical fertilizers on human and environmental health could be minimized by organic fertilizers (Abou‐El‐Hassan et al, 2017 ; Naeem et al, 2006 ), such as vermicompost and biofertilizers (organic fertilizers with beneficial soil microorganisms). Vermicompost is produced via a biodegradation technique of organic waste using earthworms and microorganisms (Shishehbor et al, 2013 ).…”

The shelf life of horticultural commodities depends on pre‐ and postharvest factors, such as soil fertilization and postharvest handling. The current study aimed to evaluate fresh‐cut celery's postharvest quality as affected by the rate and type (organic and chemical) of nitrogen (N) fertilizer and postharvest treatments. Celery (‘Tall Utah’) crop was grown in a field in Karaj, Iran. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with three replications and seven preharvest (fertilizer), and five postharvest treatments. Organic fertilizers were vermicompost (VER) and bio‐organic fertilizer [farmyard and livestock manure plus Trichoderma harzianum (COM)]. Chemical fertilizers were urea (46% N) at high rate [322 kg·ha1 N (UREA_HIGH)], optimal rate [196 kg·ha−1 N (UREA_OPT)], and low rate [138 kg·ha−1 N (UREA_LOW)]; ammonium nitrate [35% N (AN)] at 196 kg·ha−1 N; and treatment without fertilization was used as a control. Postharvest treatments included plastic packaging (PP), hydrocooling (HC), blanching (B), and edible coating of psyllium seed mucilage (EC). After postharvest treatments, celery petioles were stored (0–2°C, 85%–90% RH) for 4 weeks and evaluated weekly for quality attributes. Organic fertilizers and UREA_LOW were the most effective treatments in reducing the changes in color, weight loss, titratable acidity (TA), pH, and total soluble solids (TSS) of fresh‐cut celery. Organic fertilizers enhanced the vitamin C content, total phenols, and antioxidant activity in celeries. As postharvest treatments, hydrocooling, plastic packaging, and blanching maintained chroma and hue values. Blanching had the greatest effect on the L* value. Hydrocooling increased celery's TA, TSS, and vitamin C content and reduced weight loss and pH during storage. Thus, celery quality was improved when grown under low or adequate N fertilization. Hydrocooling was an effective postharvest treatment for preserving fresh‐cut celery quality during storage.
