Response of Some Barley Cultivars to Organic Manuring and Foliar Application of the Micronutrients Mixture Fertilan 10 Under New Reclaimed Sandy Soil Conditions.

Abstract

Two field experiments were conducted at a private farm at El-Salhia region, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt during 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 seasons to study the response of three barley cultivars viz. Giza 123, Giza 124 and Giza 125 to fertilization with three levels from farmyard manure (30, 35 and 40 m 3 /fad.) and foliar spray with Fertilan 10 (containing micronutrients mixture) under sandy soil conditions. A split-split plot design with three replicates was used in both seasons. The results revealed that, barley cultivars differed significantly where Giza 124 produced the highest grain and straw yields/fad. and the lowest grain protein content. However, Giza 125 recorded the highest grain protein content and the highest harvest index. Foliar spray with Fertilan 10 had favourable significant effect on most studied traits. Grain yield/fad. was increased significantly by 14.54% over the two seasons due to this treatment. The increase of farmyard manure rate up to 40m 3 /fad. produced significant increases in grain and straw yields/fad. and most of their attributes. These increases were at for with those produced by the addition of 35 m 3 /fad. No significant interaction effect could be detected between each two of the factors under study on grain yield/fad. or any of its attributes. The results indicated that grain yield/fad. was positively and highly significantly correlated with all studied traits including number of spikes/m 2 , number of grains/spike, weight of grains/spike and 1000-grain weight. Results cleared that the highest yield could be obtained from sowing Giza 124 barely cv. and addition of 35 m3 FYM with the foliar application of Firtlan 10 , under sandy soil conditions of El-Salhia region , Sharkia Govern orate.

Response of Barley Plants to Organic Manure and Nitrogen Fertilization Under Sandy Soils Condition

“…The increment in barely vegetative growth might be attributed to the role of organic manure for releasing the macro and micro elements to barely plants in enhancing the growth and dry matter accumulation (Yakout et al, 1998). These results are in agreement with those reported by Sharma et al, 2002;El-Toukhy and Abd -Alla, 2002;Salib, Madlain et al, 2002;Bereez et al, 2005 andGaballah andMowafy, 2007 ).…”

“…The favorable effect of Napplication (200 kg / hectare) are recommended for barely to stimulate plant growth (Table 3) and yield and it,s components (Table 4). These results are in agreement with those reported by Noworolink and Pecio, 1989;El -Hindi et al, 1998;El -Kholy et al, 1998;Abd -Alla, Maha, 2004;El -Moselhy and Zahran, 2003;El -Bawab et al, 2003 andKotb andGaballa, 2007. Regarding to the interaction between 75m 3 / hectare (cheep manure) and 200 kg / hectare (N -fertilization, urea ) increased the most of characters studied in both seasons of experiment under El-Zawiah zone soil condition in Libya (Tables 5 and 6).…”

“…Many investigators were studied the response of barley plants to organic manure application, they reported and illustrated that organic manure improves the proprieties of the soil and increased the growth characters , grain and as well as, straw yields 1000grain weight. In addition, increased the chlorophyll content in barley leaves ( Sharma et al, 2001;El -Toukhy andAbd-Alla, 2002, Salib Madlain et al, 2002;Bereez et al, 2005 andGaballah andMowafy, 2007).…”

“…Nitrogen fertilization increased plant growth parameters, yield and its components, chlorophyll content of leaves of barley plants (Abd- Alla, Maha, 2004;El-Moselhy andZahran, 2003 andKotb andGaballa, 2007). This investigation aimed to study the response of barley plants to fertilization with organic manure and nitrogen fertilization under sandy soils condition.…”

Response of Some Barley Cultivars to Sowing Date and Seeding Rate Under Sprinkler Irrigation System in Sandy Soils

“…Several investigators reported that barley cultivars showed significant differences in yield and yield attributes due to differences in their genetic background (El-Bawab et al, 2003;Abd El-Hameed and Ash-Shormillesy, 2005; Razzaque and Rafiquzzaman, 2006;Gaballah and Mowafy, 2007;Ash-Shormillesy et al, 2008;El-Banna et al, 2011;Soleymani et al, 2011 andRamadhan, 2013).…”
