Experiments were conducted a screen house at the experimental farm of Assiut Univer— ty using plastic pots. Experiments on Atrip)ex semihaccata plants: To study the re5ponse of Atriplex semibaccata to fer— lizers application, four pot experiments were carried out e oreen house under the climatic condition5 of Assiut, per Egypt. Three experiments were conducted to study the effect of trogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilization on the cwth of A. semihaccata grown on non—saline clay soil using esh water for irrigation. The fourth experiment was con— cted to study the effect of nitrogen fertilization on the e plant raised on non—saline sandy calcareous soil and rigated with saline water. The first experiment included four levels of nitrogen 40, 80 and 120 kg N/fed) as ammonium sulphate (21% N). e second experiment included four rates of phosphorus (0, • 81 and 108 kg P205/fed) as superphosphate (15.5% PaOs). e third experiment included jour rates of 1(20 (0, 32, 64 96 kg K20/fed) as potassium sulphate (50% K20).
