Testing the efficiency of some organic and bio fertilizers in improving the seeds germination and transplants growth of pepper Capsicum annum L.


Abstract in English

The aim of this study was to test the effeciency of some organic and bio fertilizers in improving the seeds germination and transplants growth of pepper Capsicum annum L. local variaty" Qorn Algazal":by using two commercial compounds; organic (Hubest) and one bio (EMI) fertilizers. Two experiments were used; the aim of the first was to study the effect of these fertilizers on germination of seeds in Petri dishes and plastic peatmoss peds. Whereas the aim of the second experiment was to evaluate the effect of the fertilizers on the pepper transplants growth that prepared in the 5 * 5 Striopor peatmoss plates placed in un warmed plastic tunnel. The results showed that the soaking of pepper seeds in the tested fertilizers, provoked and the germination increased the seeds, vigor, with a significant performance of the bio fertilizer. The results also showed that the treated transplants with the tested fertilizers gave an increase of the transplants growth ratio (the height, leaves number and foliar surface area, the dry and wet weight) with a significance superiority of the bio fertilizer.
