Abstract

A field experiment was carried out at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Environmental Agricultural Sciences, Rafah, North Sinai Governorate, Suez Canal University during the two successive winter seasons of 2011/2012 and 2012/2013; to study the response of 5 canola cultivars (Serw4, Pactol, Sakha1, Sakha2 and Sakha3) to five biofertilization treatments B1 (100% mineral + 0% biofertilizer), B2(75% mineral + 25% biofertilizer), B3 (50% mineral + 50% biofertilizer), B4(25% mineral + 75% biofertilizer) and B5 (100% biofertilizer) on yield and yield components. The results showed that Serw4 cv., surpassed the other cultivars in plant height, No. siliquae/plantat the 2nd season. Pactol surpassed the other cultivars in 1000-seed weight at 1st season but Sakha1 surpassed other cultivars in 1000-seed weight at 2nd season. Application of B1 treatment, significantly increased, plant height, No. racemes/plant, No. siliquae/plant, while B3 and B4 treatments gave the heighst 1000-seed weight at both seasons. Generally, it could be concluded that Serw4 cv. fertilized by 100% mineral and 0% biofertilizer gave the heights yield and could recommended under North Sinai conditions.
