The obtained results indicated that applying 5 ton compost 1 fed to the studied sandy soil resulted in the maximum decrease In soil bulk density value and in turn the maximum increase in total porosity. In addition, the greatest values of organic matter and available N,P and K as well as the significant increment of faba bean seed yield were also associated with applying 5 ton compost 1 fed. The maximum values of crude protein, ash and relatively low values of carbohydrates and fibers contents were achieved by applying 10 ton farmyard manure 1 fed. On the other hand, the cooked faba bean receiving 5 ton compost/fed gave the maximum values of ash, oil, fibers and protein. In addition, the moderate value of hydration coefficient of the stewed faba bean seeds and the highest value of cotyledon I hull UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2012/MJAR/3712/1/261.pdf ER -
