Abstract

This work was carried out during 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 seasons on 40 years old ‘Valencia' orange Citrus sinensis (L) Osbek trees grown in light clay soil at a private orchard in Algharbia Governorate, Egypt . The aim of this work was evaluate the effect of organic fertilizater (compost) and biological fertilizater (TS; Bacillus circulance ,  Bacillus poylmyxa  ,  Candida spp  ,  Trichoderma spp ,  Bacillus megatherium) on vegetative growth, yield and fruit quality of Valencia orange trees, as a partial replacement of mineral fertilization.
Results indicated that the application of half nutrient requirements as mineral NPK and the other half from organic source ( compost ) in combination with 150 or 200 ml TS showed the best results in terms of vegetative growth, yield, and fruit quality. This result confirm the role of organic and biofertilization on plant growth, development, productivity, and fruit quality, compared to the sole use of NPK fertilizers (control), or even when mixed with organic fertilizers. It should also be noticed that the most pronounced effect of the three combined fertilizers was gained by high rates of biofertilizers 200 ml. T.S.
Conclusively, results for sure do not nullify the important role of NPK fertilization; instead they revealed that minimizing NPK level to the half in combination with organic and bio- fertilizers was so effective.
