TWO FIELD trails were established during 1998/1999 and1999/2000 in newly reclaimed land at Sadat cily.Taba farm.El Menoufia governorate. Potatoes var.Nicola was cultivated to study the effect of compost, i.e. chicken manure (dry manure or extract from chicken after 48h.) and compost (40 m3 and 60m3 /fed.) with two kinds of biofertilizer added to the soil (suspension from yeast ,pesedoumonas and Bacteria dissolving phosphate) or inoCulated with tuber as commercial product called Microbin on vegetative growth and yield. The results from this study indicated that applying compost with chicken manure (as dry manure or extract from chicken after 48h.) and biofertilizer that were added to the soil or inoculated with tuber, increased vegetative growth expressed as plant height, number of leaves, leaves ,stem fresh and dry weight UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2002/EJH/2902/1/149.pdf ER -
