strategies in food legumes
Two experiments were installed at INRA
Merchouch Experiment Station to evaluate the
potential of phosphorus and potassium foliar
fertilization on lentil and chickpea.
Results:
Small amounts of foliar fertilizer could increase
grain yield of lentils by 40% and of chickpea by
32%.
The potential of yield increase in lentil and
chickpea by foliar fertilization is greater when soil is
not supplied with optimum fertilization and when
foliar fertilization is applied at flowering stage.
The benefit of foliar fertilization with potassium and
phosphorus is largely positive in regard to the low
amounts of fertilizers used (less than 15 kg/ha) and
the cost associated with application can be
minimized when foliar fertilization is combined with
pesticides.

of non-adapted harvester in irregular soil
profile disturbed by conventional hoeing
openers.
 Preliminary on farmer tests conducted in El
