Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Geneffa Village (third field army), El-Ganaien District, Suez Governorate, Egypt over the periods of 2021 and 2022 to investigate different treatments for improving the development and production of Moringa oleifera Lam. plants in reclaimed soil conditions. The goal of this study was to assess the effects of various organic sources (including control, farmyard manure, poultry manure, plant compost, animal compost, and plant animal compost), various planting spaces (15, 30, and 45 cm between hills), and their combinations on the growth, yield, and chemical composition of moringa plants. The results obtained indicated that based on the number of branches per plant and the fresh and dry weights of the herb per feddan, the best treatment was a combination of plant animal compost with a 15 cm distance between plant hills. Both in the first and second cuts of the two seasons, this mix did better than the other treatments that were studied. When 20 m3/ feddan of plant animal compost and 15 cm between plants were used, the overall chlorophyll content of moringa plants rose significantly compared to the other treatments. With 45 cm between plants and compost from plants and animals, the biggest amounts of N, P, K, and Mg were found as well as the highest contents of Fe, Mn and total phenols. The highest return on the invested pound for fresh and dry herb yield per feddan was obtained with poultry manure as well as animal/ plant compost.
