Document Type : Original Articles

Abstract

The present study was carried out at the Nursery of Ornamental plants, Fac. of Agric., Minia Univ., during the two seasons of 2018 and 2019 to study how to improve the growth of Antidesma bunius seedlings grown in sandy soils by adding compost at 25, 50 and 100 g/container and control as main plot (A) and fertilizing plants with bio. and/or mineral NPK fertilization treatments as sub plots (B).
All treatments of compost and fertilizing plants with bio. and/or mineral NPK had positive effects on plant growth. The best growth of seedling was obtained by adding compost at 100 g/container in combination with 75 % NPK + E.M. or 100 % NPK.
