N2  - A field experiment was conducted in Ali Moubarak Experimental Farm at EI-Bostan Reclaimed Soil Sector (100 km northwest of Cairo). The soil was none saline sandy soil irrigated with sprinkler system. The aim was to study the efficiency of application of town refuse compost, urea (46 % N) Individually and in combination on wheat production along with the uptake of the nutrients N, P, K, Fe, Mn and Zn. The used rates were 0,2 and 4 ton compost and 0, 23 and 46 kg N as urea /fed. The obtained results could be summarized as follows: The application of compost at a rate of 4 ton compost/fed increased significantly grain uptake of both P and Zn, straw yield, straw uptake of Fe and Mn; and total uptake of N, Fe and Mn . At the rate of 2 ton compost/fed it significantly increased only straw and total uptake of Mn compared to the control
