Abstract

Two field experiments were carried out in winter seasons of 2012/2013 and 2013/ 2014 to study the effect of foliar fertilizer with nitrofoska and treating seeds with bio-fertilizers , i.e. nitrobein and potassiomag on plant growth, chemical composition and green pod yield and its components, as well as, pod quality (pod physical characters and nutritive value of seeds) of pea cv. Lincoln. The results showed that foliar fertilization with nitrofoska and bio-fertilization with nitrobein increased most of plant growth traits, minerals content of shoots (N,P and K as a concentration), yield and its components, as well as physical pod characters and nutritive value of seeds (N, P, K contents, protein, ascorbic acid, TSS and total carbohydrates), followed by nitofoska + potassiomag, then nitofoska + nitrobein+potassiomag, respectively, in most cases. Conclusively, it could be concluded that the combination treatment between nitrofoska and nitrobein, followed by nitrofoska and potassiomag , as well as, nitrofoska + nitrobein + potassiomag, respectively, enhancing the most studied characters of peas.
