Effect of Farmyard Manure and Foliar Application of Micronutrients on Yield Characteristics of Wheat Grown on Salt Affected Soil

摘要

Two field experiments were carried out in 2006/2007 and 2007/2008 seasons at the experimental farm, Tag El-Ezz Research Station, Dakhlia Governorate, Egypt, (+7 m altitude, 31° 36 latitude and 30° 57 longitude) to study the effect of adding FYM at rates of 0 and 20 Mg haG and some micronutrients as 1 foliar application on growth, yield and nutrients content of wheat. The most important finding could be summarized as follows: Application of FYM gave a significant increase in all quantitative yield characteristics as compared with the control treatment. The mixed foliar application treatment (B, Mo and Zn) gave the highest mean values of all studied yield characteristics, whereas, Mo-treatment gave the lowest mean values in all studied characteristics. The interaction effect between FYM addition and foliar application of micronutrients on quantitative yield characteristics of wheat plants recorded a significant increase in all studied yield parameters as compared with control treatment. The concentrations of macro and micronutrients in grain and straw yield of wheat were affected by FYM and foliar application of micro nutrients and this effect was significant. There was significant effect of the interaction between FYM addition and foliar application of micronutrients and the treatment of adding FYM with foliar application of the mixed micronutrients (B, Mo and Zn) was the superior.
