EFFECT OF SALINITY AND LITHOVIT ON GROWTH, YIELD COMPONENTS AND CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF CLUSTER BEAN (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba, Taub.)

This study aimed to determinate the optimal condition for growth, yield components and some chemical constituents of Hibiscus sabdariffa and Cyamopsis tetragonoloba plants in intercropping patterns (sole crop of each component as control, 1:2, 1:3 and 2:3 roselle: cluster bean row ratios) under different rates of nano-material compound (Lithovit at 0, 2, 4 and 6 g/l). This study was conducted in Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Zagazig University, Egypt during the two summer consecutive seasons of 2018 and 2019. Plots consisted in the intercropping patterns and the subplots were constituted by the lithovit rates. Intercropping patterns and lithovit rates affected the plant height, number of leaves per plant and total dry weight per plant of roselle and cluster bean and sepals yield per plant, total chlorophyll, and anthocyanin content of roselle plant as well as seed yield per plant, total chlorophyll, and galactomannan percentage of cluster bean. Sole crop of roselle and cluster bean recorded the highest values compared to intercropping patterns. The best intercropping pattern in this regard was the treatment of 1 row of roselle: 3 rows of cluster bean. In addition, the highest values of abovementioned parameters were achieved by 4 g/l of lithovit compared to the other rates under study. The interaction of intercropping pattern and lithovit-affected growth, yield components and chemical constituents of roselle and cluster bean and the best treatment in this regard was 1:3 pattern and 4 g/l of lithovit.

A split-plot experiment based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications was planned at Experimental Farm, Agriculture Faculty, Zagazig University, Egypt during the two consecutive seasons of 2018/2019 and 2019/2020. Aiming to study the effect of different potassium fertilization rate (0.0, 24 and 48 K2O kg/feddan) and different kaolin concentrations (0.0, 15, 30 and 45 g/l) as well as their combination treatments on growth parameters, yield components, fixed oil, and active ingredient. Results indicated that growth parameters (plant height, branch number/ plant and dry weight/plant), yield components (number of pods/plant, seed yield/ plant and /feddan) and chemical constituents (total chlorophyll, total nitrogen, potassium, total carbohydrates, mucilage and trigonelline content) were influenced by experimental factors. Furthermore, the highest rate of potassium fertilization recorded significant increase in these above parameters compared to control. In the same trend, the highest values in this concern of Trigonella feonum-graecum was observed with 30 or 45 g/l of kaolin compared to control. Moreover, applied 48 kg K2O /feddan was more efficient than 24 kg and control when combined with kaolin at 30 or 45 g /l, in most cases. Generally, this combination treatments seems promising in enhancing fenugreek growth and productivity under Sharkia Governorate conditions.

An experiment on evaluation of cluster bean genotypes was conducted at the department of vegetable crops, Horticultural College and Research Institute, Periyakulam. Fifty genotypes of gum type of cluster bean from NBPGR, Regional Station Jodhpur, two varieties viz., Thar Bhadavi and the check variety Pusa Navbahar were collected for the study. The collected fifty two (Ct - 1 to Ct - 52) genotypes were evaluated for their growth, yield and gum content for three seasons from November 2013 to February 2015. The data collected from the 52 genotypes. The three seasons data were pooled and statistically analysed. From the above study it is concluded that the variety Pusa Navbahar (Ct – 52 check variety) recorded highest total fruit yield per plant, fruit length, number of seeds per fruit and seed yield per plant than other genotypes taken for evaluation. The same genotype Ct - 52 also recorded the highest guar gum content of 13.44 per cent followed by 12.94 per cent in Ct – 39 and the lowest gum yield of 5.79 per cent was observed in Ct - 47.
