Effect of Organic Manure , Zinc and Sulfur Application on Rice Yield and Some Nutrient Uptake

Abstract

Two field trials were conducted at El-Serw Agricultural Research Station, Dammietta governoratethrough summer season 2014 and 2015, to study the effect of organic matter as compost (20 m 3 .fed -1 ) (hectare = 2.4 fed), sulfur fertilization (0, 10, 20 and 40 kg S fed -1 ) and zinc fertilization (0, 4, 8 and 16 kgZnfed -1 ) on rice grain and straw yield, N, P and K uptake for rice crop (Oryza sativa), variety Giza 178. The results showed that rice grain and straw yield and N, P and K-uptake in grain and straw increasing with the use of zinc fertilization rates up to 16 kg Znfed,. As well as the results showed that 40 kg S fed -1 , 20 and 10 kg S fed -1 of sulfur fertilizers, respectively gave the highest values of the previous parameters. Also, the results showed that the use of organic matter as a compost gave the highest values of the previous parameters for rice crop. Organic matter + 40kg S fed -1 + 16 kg Znfed -1 gave high rice grain and straw yield and N, P and K-uptake in grain and straw.Therefore,it preferably add zinc (16 kg Zn fed -1 in form ZnSO 4 ) and mineral sulfur fertilization (40 kg S fed -1 ) with organic fertilizer to produce high rice crop under saline soil in North Delta.

Impact of Spraying with Some Micronutrients on Onion (Allium Cepa L.) Yield and Nutrients Uptake with Application of 15N

“…CuSO4 role as a crucial micronutrient for plant growth and the activation of several enzymes may account for the increase in onion production, quality, and Cu absorption seen following foliar application of CuSO4 at 0.30%. The same outcomes were reported by Rahman et al [37] and El-Hadidi et al [38]. However, significant increase in Cu uptake of the bulb onion might be due to the foliar spraying of CuSO4 which confirm that fertilizers are absorbed right at the site where they are used and are effective sources of traits and better nutrient uptake by onion bulb under foliar fertilization than soil application [39,40].…”

Influence of integrated in-soil zinc application and organic fertilization on yield, nitrogen uptake and nitrogen use efficiency of rice

“…While (Suman and Sheeja 2018) have recognized that zinc deficiency causes severe yield reduction in rice, so the application of Zn such as foliar or soil application caused significant improvement in growth and yield attributes and yield of rice. Also, El-Hadidi et al (2016) and Kafagy et al (2017) who found that zinc fertilizer had a positive effect on rice dry matter production, plant height yield and nitrogen uptake.…”

“…Zinc fertilizer had a decisive influence on rice growth features, e.g dry matter creation, leaf area indicator and yield traits, i.e. panicle number/hill, plant height, panicle length, panicle weight, filled grains/panicle, 1000-grain weight, straw and grain yields under saline soil condition (El-Hadidi et al 2016 andKhafagy et al, 2017). In additions, Bharat (2006) stated that zinc employment had raised rice grain and straw yields and harvest index under saline sodic conditions.…”
