Abstract
Field trials were conducted in two successive years in Kharga Oasis (Western desert) and in Kalabsha region (High Dam Lake Shores) to study the effect of spraying Fe-EDTA at rates of 0.5, 0.75 and 1.00 kg/ha as well as Zn-EDTA at 0.15, 0.3 and 0.6 kg/ha in two times on the growth and nutrient content of Vicia faba and Lupinus termis plants.
The results reveal that Fe-EDTA was effective in improving seed yield and on overcoming chlorosis of both plants. Zn-EDTA at 0.3 kg/ha can optimize plant yields, while increasing the rate of application to 0.6 kg/ha did not increase the seed yield. The chemical analysis of the plant tissues showed high relation between Fe or Zn content and the rate of application.
