Abstract
Improved Salinity Tolerance by Potassium Humate Fertilizer in Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L., Cv. “Bronco”) Plants
Highlights
Food legumes are considered as an important component in promoting sustainable agriculture and human dietary nutrition, worldwide
Soil treatment with KH significantly increased the all tested growth characteristics of salt-stressed common bean plants compared to the controls (Table 2)
Soil treatment with KH significantly increased the all tested green pods and dry seed yields characteristics [i.e., average pod weight, number of pods per plant, pods weight per plot (10.5 m2), dry seed weight per plot (10.5 m2) and 100-seed weight] of salt-stressed common bean plants compared to the controls (Table 3)
Summary
Food legumes are considered as an important component in promoting sustainable agriculture and human dietary nutrition, worldwide. Legume cultivation is beneficial to non-legume crops through multiple agro-ecological services such as biological nitrogen fixation, improvement of soil fertility and N-rich green manure (Isaac et al, 2011). The economical, nutritional and ecological services provided by legumes are often compromised by sensitivity to environmental stresses whose increased frequency can Mohamed A. Phaseolus vulgaris (L.) is one of the most important Fabaceae vegetables produced for human nutrition, in the Middle Eastern, including Egypt. It is classified as a salt-sensitive plant (Maas and Hoffman, 1977)
