Abstract
An Experiment was conducted at Homeimeh search station in Aleppo, through 2021/2022 season to compare adding hydrogel and soluble fertilizers, and their effects on soil content of essential elements, and production of faba bean production variety “Baladi Mohassen”. Completely randomized block design was used with five treatments: (control without fertilizers, adding soluble fertilizer by 2 kg/donem, adding hydrogel by 1, 2 3 kg/donem). The fertilizers were added three times through season. Soil content of NPK were analyzed five times (before planting, after a period of each fertilizers application and after harvest). Also, some morphological and yield component measured with analysis of seed content from NPK. Positive effects were showed when adding hydrogel by rising soil content of NPK comparing with traditional soluble fertilizer. And they were available long time in the soil even after harvest. Also, the positive effects reflect on amelioration of morphological and production of faba bean production.
Key Words: Hydrogel, NPK, Faba Bean, Soil Fertilizing.
