Abstract

Possibilities of partial or complete substitution of mineral fertilizer via bio and organic fertilizers were assessed for improving the characteristics of sesame vegetative growth and contributing to decrease environmental pollution. The two experiments were implemented in two summer seasons of 2015 and 2016 at the Agricultural Experimental and Research Station, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University. The experimental design was based on a randomized complete block design with seven treatments. Sesame was tested under three types of fertilizers i.e., 33, 50, and 100% of mineral, compost, and 100% of bioformulations. Results revealed that the treatment of 50% of mineral in interaction with 50% of compost gave the highest values of the dry weight of whole plant (g), the dry weight of shoot (g), absolute growth rate (mg day−1), and unit shoot rate (mg mg−1 day−1) in the first season. Also, the treatment of 50% of mineral in interaction with 50% of compost attained maximum values of absolute growth rate (mg day−1) and unit shoot rate (mg mg−1 day−1) in the second season and in both seasons. It can be concluded that the partial substitution of mineral fertilizer via 50% of mineral in interaction with 50% of compost for improving the characteristics of sesame vegetative growth and contributing to decrease environmental pollution.
