Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of organic sources such as fish scrap, goat manure and olive pomace and bio-fertilizer applications (Nitrobein or Rhizobacterein) on vegetative growth and leaf chemical content of Earligrande peach trees during the two consecutive seasons of 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 at the private Farm at El-Kharafen village in Rafah district, North Sinai Governorate, Egypt. The type of application was surface and trench. Results indicated that fish scrap treatment recorded the highest effect on vegetative growth and leaf nutrients content compared with other organic fertilizer sources in both seasons. Rhizobacterein increased vegetative growth and had greater leaf nutrients content than Nitrobein during both seasons. Trench application method achieved a high values in these parameters compared to surface application method in both seasons. Finally, the interactions between fish scrap with Rhizobacterein under trench application method had the highest value for each of vegetative growth, leaf nutrient content and pigments in both seasons.
