Abstract

Two field experiments were carried out at the Experimental
Farm, Faculty of Agriculture Fayoum Univ, during the two
successive seasons of 2006 and 2007 to study the effect of organic
manure levels (20, 40 and 60 m
3/fed.), and planting dates (April in
summer season and November in winter season) on forage yield and
quality of alfalfa at Fayoum governorate .
The results indicated that :
1- Applying organic manure fertilizer at levels 20, 40 and 60 m
3/fed,
had no significant effect on fresh and dry forage yield (ton /fed)
during winter and summer seasons with one exception during the
2
nd cut in the 2nd season only during summer seasons.
2- The protein percentage was significantly responded to organic
manure levels. The maximum values were observed by applying
60 m
3 / fed.
3- Increasing organic manure levels from 20, 40 up to 60 m
3/fed,
affected significantly on total carbohydrates.
