The Effect of Natural Zeolite Addition on Wheat productivity and Some Soil Fertility Characteristics under Rain-fed Conditions


Abstract in English

The research was carried out at Al-Qamishli Agricultural Research Center, GSAR, Syira, during the seasons 2011, 2012 and 2013, in order to estimate the effect of adding different levels of a crude Zeolite (T2-20 tons/ha, T3- 40 tons/ha, in addition to the control (without adding Zeolite T1), on wheat productivity within a bilateral crop rotation was followed, consisted of wheat and chickpea, and on the content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the surface layer of the soil .The research was conducted using Complete Randomized Block Design with three replicates.
