Abstract

A filed experiment was conducted to study the influence of organic and inorganic fertilizers on productivity and nutrients contents of Faba bean plants (Vicia faba, L) grown on three locations at West Delta Egypt, Kafr El Waq, Housh Issa (S1) and El Lohom Nubaria (S2) are located in El Behira Governorate and the third one is the farm of Faculty of Agriculture Al-Azhar university in EL-Sadate City; El Monoufia Governorate (S3), during winter season of 2018-2019 years. The results revealed that applying organic and inorganic fertilizers significantly increased straw yield, seeds yield, weight of 100 seeds and nutrients contents of the grown faba bean plants. The values record at S1 were higher than those attained at S2 in where corresponding values were achieved higher than those achieved at S3.  The values were 4949.784 and 4940.784 and 4761.952 k/ha for straw yield at S1, S2 and S3 sites respectively corresponding to 4914.062, 4637.065 and 4536.677 kg/ha for seed yield at the same respective sites and 109.801, 107.033 and 107.018 g for weight of 100 seeds at S1, S2 and S3, respectively.The highest values for N concentration in straw were1.67, 1.57 and 1.62%corresponding to N uptake values of 62.00, 58.18 and 57.86 kg/ha at S1, S2 and S3, respectively. Likewise, the highest values of nitrogen concentration in seeds were 3.56, 3.44 and 3.31%corresponding to the highest N uptake values of 131.21, 119.64 and 112.62 kg/ha at S1, S2 and S3, respectively.
