Abstract

A pot experiment was conducted in the greenhouse of the Programme “Micronutrient and Other Plant Nutrition Problems in Egypt” with wheat plants to study the influence of manuring with different levels of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) alone or when enriched with FeSO₄ or ZnSO₄ on the dry matter formation, nutrient concentrations and nutrient uptake by the plants. The obtained data showed that there are positive correlations between the increased levels of organic manure and both uptake and dry matter formation by the plants. Enrichment with FeSO₄ or ZnSO₄ has additionally increased nutrient uptake, concentrations and dry weight of the plants and enrichment with FeSO₄ was the most effective. The treatments 1[0.25 % FYM (5 m³/fed) + 0.35 g/pot FeSO₄ or ZnSO₄ (50 Kg/fed)] and 2 [0.50 % FYM (10 m³/fed) + 0.35 g/pot FeSO₄ or ZnSO₄ (50 Kg/fed)] were the best. Negative correlations were recorded with dry weight, N, Ca, Mg and Mn uptake and increased levels of FYM in case of enrichment with FeSO₄, while negative correlations were only found in both Mg and Mn uptake in case of enrichment with ZnSO₄ .
