Abstract

The low organic matter content of the cultivated soils in Egypt with weed infestations led to a decrease in crop productivity, so this study aimed to study the effect of the different types of organic amendments and polymeric granstar as polymeric herbicides on clay and calcareous soil's properties, wheat productivity, and nutrient content. The result indicated that the addition of PM significantly affected chemical properties, grain yield (15.9 and 16.4%), straw yield (8 and 11.7%), total nutrient uptake by wheat plant in an average value of two seasons in clay and calcareous soil, respectively. In addition, data showed that, with the treatments of granstar and polymer herbicides, the rate of increase in the soil content of available micronutrients varied widely from nutrient to another of two soils in two seasons. Also, the results indicated that unweeded plots caused a decrement in grain yield by 3.77 and 7.87% in clay soil and by 4.47 and 4% in calcareous soil for in 1st and 2nd, respectively.
