Quality Parameters of Snap Bean Plant as affected by Compost Town Refuse, K-Levels and Bacillus cerculans

Abstract

Field experiment was conducted out during season of 2017 as a randomized complete block with 9 treatments and replicated three times. The experiment location is located in the Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Agric. El-Mansoura Univ. to study the effect of compost town refuse and K-levels in presence of Bacillus cerculans on the growth, yield and pods quality snap bean plant. The obtained results could be summarized as average values of vegetative growth parameters, chemical content, yield and its component, quality of snap bean seeds and available K were realized with using CTR+ 75%K +BS. While concentrations of heavy metals in seeds, available N,P, K, DTPA-extractable Pb, Ni and Cd mg.kg -1 were recorded with using CTR as source of organic manure all comparing with control.
