RESPONSE OF MORINGA OLEIFERA TO ORGANIC BIOFERTILIZERS AND MINERAL NPK FERTILIZATIONS
This investigation was conducted to investigate the response of Moringa oleifera to compost fertilization at four levels (0, 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed) and bio. and/or mineral NPK treatments [(control, 100% NPK, 75% NPK + phosphorein + Minia Azotein, 50% NPK + phosphorein + Minia Azotein and phosphorein...

| Summary: | This investigation was conducted to investigate the response of Moringa oleifera to compost fertilization at four levels (0, 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed) and bio. and/or mineral NPK treatments [(control, 100% NPK, 75% NPK + phosphorein + Minia Azotein, 50% NPK + phosphorein + Minia Azotein and phosphorein + Minia Azotein (Bio)] on vegetative growth traits, yield and pigments. The obtained results indicate that, plant height, stem diameter, number of branches, number of pods/plant, number of seeds/pod and seed yield/plant, as well as, pigments were gradually increased by increasing the levels of compost fertilizer. All bio. and/or mineral NPK fertilization treatments significantly increased all the previous parameters. Bio. + 75% NPK dose followed by mineral NPK (full dose) treatments were more effective in this concern. The highest values for vegetative growth traits, yield and yield components and pigments were obtained due to compost at 15 ton/fed in combination with bio. + 75% NPK dose. |
