Abstract

 ABSTRACT: In order to appraise the role of organic manures in improving soil properties, a field experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of Sakha Agriculture Research Station,Kafr El- Shikh, Egypt  to study the effect of compost as (4 or 8 ton fed-1 ) along with Potassium- Humate (K-H) and fulvic acid (F A) as ( 20 L fed-1 ) on some physical properties of the studied soil . The treatments comprised of  1) control (soil treated with 100 % NPK of recommended doses  2, 3) soil treated with either K –H or F A as 20 L fed-1  4, 5) soil treated with compost at the rate either 4 or 8 ton fed-1 6, 7) compost combination (4 and 8 ton  fed-1 ) by K-H as (20 L fed-1 ) respectively  8, 9) compost combination (either 4 or 8 ton fed-1 ) by  fulvic acid as( 20 L fed-1). The wheat crop (Triticum aestivum L., var Sakha 93) was selected as concerned crop.
