Abstract

This study was carried out in greenhouse of National Research Center, Dokki, Giza government, Egypt on the olive seedlings of "Toffahi" and "Picual" cv to study the influence of different levels of mineral fertilizers using NPK (25, 50, 75 and 100 %) in combination with a mixture of three commercial bio-fertilizes named: Nitrobein, Potassin and Phosphorine and organic fertilizer by using Pigeon manure tea. In general, the application of the second treatment (75% of N P K + 100 gm pigeon manure tea +2.5 nitrobein+ 2.5 gm Phosphorine+ 2.5 gm Potassin) gave the best results for increasing all vegetative growth such as plant height increment %, Lateral shoot numbers, Stem diameter, number of leaves/ seedling, dry weight of leaves %, and root numbers per seedling as well as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus contents in leaf seedlings comparing with the other treatments. From the other hand, the third treatment (50% of N P K + 100 gm pigeon manure tea +2.5 nitrobein + 2.5 gm Phosphorine + 2.5 gm Potassin) gave the maximum root length comparing with the other studied treatments.
