Water requirements of crops under north Sinai conditions: 1- irrigation timing and organic fertilizer studies conducted for the improved water use efficiency for some aromatic and medicinal plants [electronic resource].

Includes references.

This work is an attempt to clarify the effect of organic manures and water management in sandy soils to improve water use parameters of some aromatic and medicinal plants under daily drip irrigation, with emitters adjusted to 4 l/hour under desert conditions at the El-Sheikh Zuwayid region, N0I1h Sinai, Egypt. The study was conducted in split-plot design as four replicates. The treatments include three daily irrigation times (1/4 hour = 1 liter/plant; 1/2 hour = 2 liter/plant; 3/4 hour = 3 liter/plant) and the use of three types of organic manures (peat moss, compost and chicken manure) at about 20 m3/feddan.
