Effect of enriched vermicompost manure in improve of iron and zinc deficiencies and quality characteristics of peach trees
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 21
Abstract
In order to determine the effect of compost and vermicompost enriched with iron and zinc on iron and zinc nutritional status of peach trees a randomized complete block design with three replications carried in agro-industry and livestock cooperation of Moghan in Parsabad town of Ardabil province. Treatments included manure compost, vermicompost manure, vermicompost enriched with iron and zinc, vermicompost enriched with iron, zinc and sulfur, vermicompost enriched with sulfur, vermicompost enriched with iron filings, and control. Data were analyzed using SAS software. Duncan's multiple range test was used for mean comparison. The results showed that the concentration of iron, zinc and chlorophyll of peach leaves in various treatments was statistically different (p<0.05). The maximum concentrations of iron, zinc and chlorophyll of leaves, were observed in treatments that vermicompost enriched with iron, zinc and sulfur.
