The experiment included 10 treatments;T1 (100% Mineral NPK fertilizers), T2 (50 % of NPK fertilizer + 50 % yeast vinasse), T3 (50 % of NPK fertilizer + 50 % compost), T4 (50 % of NPK fertilizer + 25 % yeast vinasse + 25 % compost), T5 (25 % of NPK fertilizer + 75 % yeast vinasse),T6 (25 % of NPK fertilizer + 75 % compost), T7 (25 % of NPK fertilizer + 37.5 % yeast vinasse + 37.5 % compost), T8 ( 100% yeast vinasse ), T9 ( 100 % compost) and T 10 ( 50 % compost + 50 % yeast vinasse ). The application of compost and yeast vinasse and its combinations with NPK mineral fertilizers compared with mineral NPK only (control) led to a significantly increased vegetative growth, yield, fruit quality and leaf mineral contents. The highest fruit weight (181.66 g) and yield (72.86 kg/tree) as an average of both seasons were found at (T4). Greatest values of fruit physical and chemical properties were also found with (T4) in both seasonsto improve nodulation and plant growth of leguminous crops.","PeriodicalId":482260,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"70 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140406428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results referred that fertilized coriander plants with 31 kg P 2 O 5 / feddan significantly increased plant height, branches count per plant and total plant dry weight compared to the other phosphorus rates. Moreover, the highest values of yield components (umbels number per plant and fruit yield per plant and per feddan) and production of volatile oil (volatile oil % and its yield per plant and per feddan) as well as total chlorophyll content, total carbohydrates and phosphorus percentages were produced with 46.5 kg P 2 O 5 / feddan rate. Generally, the best treatment in all studied parameters of coriander was recorded when plants sprayed with 7 ml biomagic /l with significant differences with the other rates under study. In mostly, fertilized coriander plants with 31.0 kg P 2 O 5 / feddan and sprayed with 7 ml /l of biomagic recorded the highest values in growth, yield and volatile oil production without significant differences between them.

The study was conducted on a random sample of 226 respondents in two villages (El-Hamidia El-Gdeda and El-Mazatly) in Fayoum governorate in Egypt. Data were collected during October and November 2022 using a pretested structured questionnaire through personal interviews. The results showed that the majority of farmers belong to the middle level of perception for both climate change and renewable energy.
