The combined effect of phosphorus and molybdenum on broad bean plant growth and its chemical composition [electronic resource].

Includes references.

Field experiment was carried out at the Farm of Sers El-Lyian Agricultural Staion for two seasons (98/1999- and 1999/2000)• to study the individual and combined effect of P and Mo at different rates (0, 100 and 200 kg/fed.) ordinary superphosphate and spraying with (0, 0.1 and 0.2 g /L (300L /fed.) Molybdic acid) on broad bean (Vicia faba L.) plant growth and its content of some nutrients. The obtained data show that, P and Mo application individually or together resulted In a significant increase of the all growth parameters under study. i.e. plant height (cm), number of branches / plant, number of pods/plant and number of seeds/plant The highest increase of those parameters was found when P and Mo added together at high application rates especially in the second season.
