EFFECT OF PHOSPHATE FERTILIZER (DAP) AND ORGANIC FERTILIZERS AND THEIR INTERACTION ON THE MORPHOLOGICAL , PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTIC OF Arachis Hypogaea L

Abstract

Abstract: Afield study was carried out on peanuts to determine its response to different levels of phosphate and animal manure in terms of some morphological (plant length number of branches ,leaf area,dry weight of the vegetative group )and physiological characterics such as (leaves content of chlorophyll a,b and total chlorophyll and carbohydrates and soluble protein in leaves). The results have shown significant response of peanuts when fertilized with different levels of phosphates .The best response was achieved with 40kg p/ha of phosphates for all studies properties.Also peanuts showed significant response when fertilized with different levels of animal manure (sheep and cow wastes). The best response was achieved with 40kg p/ha of sheep and cow manure. Results have shown sheep wastes manure gave the best response for all studies properties. Mixing organic with phosphates gave significant response for all studies properties . The best of interaction was 80 kg p/ha with 40 ton/ha of organic manure. The interaction between phosphates and sheep wastes gave the best response for peanuts properties than interaction with cow wastes for all studies properties. It can be concluded that the best suitable ratio for peanuts to gave the best production characteristic to be fertilized with 80 kg p/ha with 40 ton/ha of sheep wastes.
