Abstract

ABSTRACT: A field experiment was conducted in the Experimental Farm of Sakha Agriculture Research Station for two successive winter seasons (2010- 2011) and( 2011- 2012) using wheat plant (Triticum aestivumL., var Sakha 93) to study the effect of compost with two rates either 4 or 8 ton fed ^-1 and 20 L fed ^-1 from both potassium humate and fulvic acid on some chemical properties of soil, yield and yield component of wheat plant . The treatments were 1 ) soil treated with 100% NPK of recommended doses as control 2, 3 ) soil treated with potassium humate ( K – H ) and fulvic acid ( F A ) respectively 4, 5) soil treated with compost at the rate either 4 or 8 ton fed^-1 6, 7 ) soil treated with mixture of K –H and either C 4 or C 8 respectively 8, 9 ) soil treated with mixture of ( F A ) and either C 4 or C 8 respectively .
