Improvement the Growth, Productivity and Fruit Quality of Maghrabi Banana by Biofertilizer Applicationh[electronic resource].

Includes references.

AFIELD experiment at Oseim Giza Egypt was conducted in the two successive seasons (2004 / 2005) to investigate the effect of biofcrtilizer singly or in combination with reduced doses of chemicalN fertilizer 25,50 and 75% compared to 100% of the recommended N dose on growth, productivity and fruit quality of Maghrabi banana. The data revealed that, the low level of N fertilization (25 and 50°-0) resulted in a higher population of both Azotobacter spp. and Azospirilium spp. in the rhizosphcre of banana compared to the treatments of 75% N fertilization. However, a sharp decline in the bacterial number was observed by the increase in chemical N fenilizcr level.
