The research experiment was carried out during the 2007, 2008 and 2009
seasons on grape variety Al- Helwani (10 years old) to study the effect of NPK
fertilization rates and the triple superphosphate (T.S.P) application method on
some fruits chara
cters.Three fertilization NPK rates were used, rate 1
(75:25:50) kg/ ha, twofold and fourfold of rate 1, in three replicates in addition
to control. The application of (T.S.P) was on soil surface and at 30 cm depth.
The results showed significant increase of the total soluble solids (TSS), pH and
vitamin C compared to control. while the content of TSS in juice increased by
40.9%, 44.6%, 50.3% in the three rates, respectively, compared to control, pH
increased from 5.45 in control to 5.92; 5.89; 5.73 in the three rates,
respectively, in turn, significant decrease in total acidity (TA) was noted by
15.3, 11.1 and 42.8%, in the three rates, respectively, compared to control.
ASignificant increase of (TSS) by 2.5% and vitamin C by 10 % in deep T.S.P
application compared to the surface application, on the other hand, (TA)
decreased significantly by 4.2%, while, there was no significant differences in
pH, in both treatments.
A field experiment was carried out during 2003 and 2004 in Edleb
governorate to study the effect of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (Bacillus
megaterium) and cows manure on solubilization of phosphate rock, cotton
productivity, and phosphate uptak
e. The amounts of phosphate rock and
superphosphate were added by the same amount of P2O5.
An amount of nitrogen fertilizer as urea, was added to treatment 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, and 6 , whereas treatment 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 received amounts of organic
fertilizer having the same amount of N added to treatment 1-6 (MAAR
recommendation).
