Effect of bacterial bio fertilization on phosphorous budget, growth, and yield of Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) When intercropping with wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract

The study was carried out at the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences - University of Baghdad on soil with a mixture of loam during the winter season of the year (2020-2021). The study included a field experiment to evaluate the effect of bio fertilizer and mineral fertilization on the phosphorous budget in the soil and in the growth parameters of the faba bean plant and the intercropping faba bean with wheat under the level of 50% of the fertilizer recommendation with the use of a complete fertilizer recommendation treatment of 100% for comparison measured the amount of water added for each Experimental unit After draining 50% of the prepared water using a water meter, a (factorial) experiment was carried out by arranging the split plates (The Split-Plot Design) according to the (RCBD) design.
