Abstract

AField experiment was carried out using bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). CV Bohera, during season 2015 at the Agric. Exp. Station of El-Mansoura Univ. to study integrated effect of fertilizers on beans cultivated in alluvial soil. The treatments were NPK 75 %, NPK 100 %, NPK 75 % + compost and NPK 100 % + compost, in addition to control. The results showed that the best treatment was NPK 100 % + compost, compared to control, which gave the highest values of vegetative growth parameter (pod diameter, pod length and plant height), and enhanced quality parameters (NPK% , carbohydrate %  and protein% of seed), also improved chlorophyll content of bean plant .the NPK 100 % + compost treatment not only enhanced NPK % in leaves and increased yield but also increased available NPK in soil.
