Abstract

Two field experiments were carried out on sandy soil at Experimental Farm of Ismailia Agric. Res Station for two successive summer seasons (2015 and 2016) to study the effect of individual and combined application of compost and tafla on some soil chemical,  physical properties, sesame (Sesamum indicum L) productivity and its chemical composition. Both tafla and compost were added individually at rates of 0, 5, 10 and 15 ton fed-1 or in together at rates of 2.5, 5 and 7.5 ton fed-1. The studied treatments arranged in the completely randomized design in three replicates. The obtained results indicated a noticeable reduction in soil pH as a result of treating the soil with tafla and compost at different rates compared to control, increased the soil EC at different rate of tafla , whereas reduction in soil EC in treating of  compost or combined with tafla at different rates. The effect is more pronounced in the soil treated with 7.5 ton compost fed-1 + 7.5 ton tafla fed-1 and compost alone at rate of 15 ton fed-1. However, the organic matter (OM) content of the soil was increased with application of compost alone and in combined with tafla at different rates. The highest OM content  were recorded with the treatment of 7.5 ton compost fed- 1+ 7.5 ton tafla fed-1 followed by 15 ton fed -1  of compost  compared to control. A slight decreases of soil bulk density (BD), an increase in soil total porosity (TP) were found with application of compost and tafla individually and in together at different rates as compared to control. The values of field capacity, wilting point and the content of available water of sandy soil were increased as a result of the evaluated soil amendments at different application rates. In addition, the obtained dataindicated that theyield and its components, straw yield, seed yield and weight of 1000 seeds, were significantly increased by the different studied treatments of both compost and tafla.The highest mean values of yield and its components were found with the combined treatments of compost with tafla at a high application rate compared to the control. Also, there was a significant increment in N, P and K contents (%) of sesame seeds with treatment of 7.5 ton compost fed-1 + 7.5 ton tafla fed-1  compared to control.
