  Author(s): Eman Ghebrial*, Taha MB and Taghrid Hegazy
  
  Field experiments were carried out under natural infection in the Experimental Farm of Sids Agricultural Research Station, Agriculture Research Centre, Beni-Sweif governorate in 2017 and 2018 to evaluate the efficiency of compost amended with rock phosphate, gypsum and inoculated by some bioagents (Bacillus subtilis, Trichoderma harzianum and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi) in controlling of powdery mildew on dill caused by Erysiphe heraclei and improving its productivity as well as soil fertility using two application methods: soil amendment and/or foliar spray. Overall, all the tested compost treatments were effective in reducing the disease incidence, severity and improve plant growth leading to a significant increase in fresh, dry weights and fruits yield, NPK uptake. Furthermore, all the tested treatments showed significant inc.. View more»
