Abstract
A pot experimen: WaS ccnductec to ir.vestqate the eftect of to,ir cornposts on wheat (Trlt,cl.m aesttvurr L.Cv Yecora roroj grovm In hIghly r alcareous .cary s e no 5(',1: (CaCO,:: 28%) [1f< composts were app'iec at five rates (0,6. 12 .• 8 ar d 24 t ~,a I) Ail pots rece.vco 30% of the recornrner.dec amour.ts of ino'ganlc f2rtllizers (t~ P and K)
The obtained results strongly confirmed that application of composts at the various rates Increased the orcanic matter cortent. the available P and ~, and available micronutrients (Fe, Mn~ Cu. and Zn) in the investigated soil. The results also showed that the application of composts caused a substantial increase in wheat Yield (straw and grain) as we,! I as the macronutrients (N p. K) content and rnrcronutnents (Fe, Mn. Cu. Zn) content by wheat plants
Application or animal compost Into the soil gave the hi£l1est yield and nutrients content by wheat plant compared With the other composts "rus Indlcat",n that this compost in a good mature state
