Effect of Compost, Mineral Fertilizers and Foliar Application of Micronutrients on Mineral Compositions and yield components of Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) under Alluvial Soil Condition

Abstract

Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is considered one of the most important legume crops in Egypt. It is used for human consumption as a good source of vegetarian protein. Hence, a field experiment was done by used bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.).CV Bohera during the season of 2015 at the Agricultural Experimental Station, Mansoura University, Egypt to study the effect of compost,mineral fertilizers and foliar application of some micronutrients on mineral composition of bean plant as well as grain components (total Carbohydrate% and Crude Protein content%). Complete block design with four replicates and nine treatments was used in this study. Treatments were Control, NPK100 %, NPK75 %, NPK100 %+ Compost, NPK75% +Compost, NPK100% Manni plex beans, NPK75 % + Manni plex beans, NPK100 %+ compost + Manni plex beans, NPK75%+ compost + Manni plex beans. The obtained results showed that over treatments under study superior and significant increase was recoded with the treatment of NPK 100% +compost + Manni plex beans compared with other treatments. Thus, foliar application of Fe, Zn, B and Mn with other amendments led to positive increases of macronutrients (N, P and K) and micronutrients (Fe, Zn and Mn) concentration in leaves, stem and root of bean, In addition to, all tested treatments significant improved seeds components.
