A comparative study on the significance of applied farmyard manure and other affording materials for barley grown on a saline soil [electronic resource].

Includes references.

To evaluate the role of farmyard manure, (FYM) common organic manure for the most of farmers in Egypt, as a soil amendment and nutrient supplying source, especially in some cases of soil salinity, a field experiment was carried out in a saline soil at Kome Osheem farm, El Fayoum Agriculture Research Station, El Fayoum Governorate, Egypt. To identify the beneficial effect of farmyard manure (FYM), as compared. to other nutrient affording materials. i.e., bio (Cerealin) and mineral fertilizers of nitrogen phosphrae and potassium sources. Barley plant was the chosen test crop as a tolerant cereal crop. Obtained data could be summarized in the following: Inoculating barley grains with Cerealin and combined with 7.5 m³ FYM/fed was the best treatment in case of grain, straw yields, harvest index, 1000 grain weight, grain dry matter, and N uptake whereas, each of applied ammonium sulphate and FYM alone resulted in the highest values of straw- N uptake and dry matter, respectively.
