Effect of two types of organic fertilizers on the productivity of two cultivars of wheat

Abstract

An experiment was performed at Botany Dept. , Kufa Institute from the period of 15 / 11 2009 till 20 / 6 2010 to study the effect of three levels for both poultry fertilizers ( 1 , 2 and 3 ton donum ) and cow fertilizers ( 2 , 4 and 6 ton donum ), in addition to the control treatment on the productivity of two cultivars of wheat plant (Maxipak and Florance Aruroa) . Treatments were distributed by Randomized Complete Block Design ( RCBD ) with three replicates. Results showed that , the organic fertilizers have significantly effect on the yield of wheat . Wheat cultivars were differed in their response to organic fertilizers . It was noted from the results that , treatment of poultry fertilizer of ( 3 ton donum ) and treatment of cow fertilizer of ( 6 ton donum ) gave the highest production (460.65 and 443,86 kg / donum ) for total weight, ( 280.99 and 266.31 kg / donum ) for grain weight , ( 179.65 and 177.54 kg / donum ) for straw weight, for Maxipak cultivar and ( 395.72 and 382.82 kg / donum ) for total weight and ( 241.38 and 219.00 kg / donum ) for grain weight and ( 154.33 and 164.61 kg / donum ) for straw weight, for Florence Aruroa cultivar.
