THE PRODUCTIVITY OF JEW'S MALLOW PLANT AS INFLUENCED BY DIFFERENT NK FERTILIZATION
Vegetable Research Department, National Research Centre, Dokki, Cairo, Egypt
Abstract
Two field experiments were carried out during the two successive summer seasons of 2002 and 2003 to investigate the effect of 4 levels of nitrogen fertilizer (20, 30, 40, and 50 N unit/fed.) and 4 levels of potassium fertilizer (12, 24, 36 and 48 K unit/fed.) on vegetative growth characters, foliage yield and its some chemical composition of Jew's mallow plant.
The important results could be summarized as follows:
1-lncreasing nitrogen fertilizer levels up to 50 N unit/fed. significantly increased vegetative growth and total foliage yield as well as N, P and K contents of its leaves tissue.
2-lncreasing the levels of potassium fertilizer addition up to 48 K unit/fed. enhanced vegetative growth characters and total foliage yield as well as increased N, P and K contents in leaves tissue.
3- The vigor vegetative plant growth and the heaviest total foliage yield were associated with the highest nitrogen level (50 N unit/fed.) combined with the highest potassium level (48 K unit/fed.).
