| Abstract | ||
| The experiment was conducted on the farm extension experiments in Almhannawia during 2013 – 2014 growth season to study the effect of soil fertilization (control, 200 kg.ha-1 of NPK (18-18-0), poultry compost (4 and 8 t.ha-1), and foliar fertilizer (control, urea 1 g.l-1, humic acid 2 ml.l-1 and polemet 2 ml.l-1) and their interaction on fenugreek . Randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications was used. Seeds were planted on lines (30 cm apart) in 21-10-2013 and each experimental unit consists of10 lines. Soil fertilizers were added at seeding stage, and foliar application wasadded twice (in 2/1 and 17/1/2014). The results showed that chemical and organic (8 t.ha-1) caused a significant increase in leaf chlorophyll content and the proportion of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, while it had no significant effect on the proportion of sodium. Foliar fertilizer had no significant effect on chlorophyll, nitrogen potassium and sodium, while spraying urea and humus caused a significant increase in phosphorus proportion. The interaction between soil and spraying fertilizer had a significant effect in increasing chlorophyll and the proportion of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in leaves, while it had no significant effect on the proportion of sodium. | ||
