Abstract
This work was carried out in the experimental research green house of National Research Center, Dokki, Giza, Egypt during 2014. For this purpose, healthy one years old olive and almost uniform seedlings Toffahi cv. was used. The seedlings were planted in black polyethylene bags fooled with sand mixed very good with sheep manure , olive seedlings were irrigated twice weekly. Using 108 g of mineral NPK fertilizer per seedling and treated seedling with biofertilizers pre planting recorded the maximum values of lateral shoot numbers , stem diameter and number of leaves / shoot, while using the same rate of mineral NPK (108 g) and biofertilizers after seedling increased seedling P and K content. Fertilized olive seedlings Toffahi cv. With mineral fertilized by 80 %144 g of mineral NPK only without using biofertilizers increased number of roots/ seedling and root length / seedling, while Using 144 g mineral NPK and biofertilizers pre seedling increased N content in seedling on the other side, using 144g of mineral NPK and treated seedlings with biofertilizers after planting gave the highest values of plant height increment , number of leaves/ seedling and dry weight of leaves/ seedling.
