Abstract
A field experiment was carried out at San-El-Hagar, Sharkia, Egypt, to study the effect of four factors, viz., type of nitrogen fertilizer (urea or ammonium sulphate), superphosphate, gypsum requirements and seed soaking treatments on NPK availability and their uptake by rice plants. Also, to study the direct effect of the above factors on rice yield and its components.
Data showed that urea is superior than ammonium sulphate to supply rice with nitrogen under the studied conditions. The gypsum addition resulted in decreasing the nitrogen loss from fertilizers and consequently increased the uptake of N. Also, superphosphate fertilizer, N-fertilizers and gypsum addition resulted in an increase in the uptake of NPK compared with control. Soaking of seeds in a 0.1% NaC1 solution, increased the tolerance of rice plants to soil salinity and consequently nutrients uptake.
Urea gave a superior effect on rice yield and its components than ammonium sulphate. The rice yield and its components were greatest under N-fertilizer+ superphosphate + gypsum + soaked seeds in saline solution.
