Abstract
A research experiment was carried out at the experimental farm of the National Research Center in the two seasons 2018 and 2019, with the aim of studying the effect of spraying with potassium humate (2, 4 and 6%) under compost fertilization conditions (0, 2.5 and 5 ton fed-1) on the growth and yield as well as the nutritional status of turnip plants.
The results indicated the following:Spraying with a higher concentration of potassium humate (6 %) with a higher ground addition of compost (5 ton fed-1)improved significantly for all growth and yield characteristics compared to the rest of the other experimental treatments.Also, the same previous treatment gave the best values in the content of turnip roots of carbohydrates and protein and the higher uptake of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, which indicates that this treatment surpassed all other experimental treatments in improving the quality of the turnipyield.
From the previous results it becomes clear the importance and role of potassium humate in improving the growth, quantity and quality of the turnipyield with the presence of compost fertilization in appropriate quantities.
