Abstract

This study was conducted on the eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) at a private nursery in, Akhmim city, Sohag, Egypt located at 26° 34′ 0″ N, 31° 45′ 0″ E. During the two successive winter seasons of 2019 and 2020, to evaluate the responses of the eggplant seeds' emergence, seedlings growth, that growing in modified growth media by using some organic wastes. 0.0, 5, 10 and 15 % of Moringa wastes were added to traditional media on a weight basis and 0.0, 15, 30 and 45 % of broccoli wastes also were added to traditional media on a weight basis. The experiment was laid out as a Completely Randomize Design with three replications. Results related to germination percentage %, mean germination time, total chlorophyll content, seedling height (cm), stem thickness (mm) and seedling fresh and dry weight g revealed that, positively significant effects of partially replacement of traditional growing media with organic alternatives i.e. moringa and broccoli wastes. Among different combinations of mixtures growing medium, traditional media (peatmoss/vermiculite 1:1) plus moringa wastes on a weight basis 85:15 (T4) respectively, or by adding broccoli wastes on a weight basis 70:30 (T3) respectively, were the best selection compared to the control treatment and the other combination mixtures.
