Abstract

This study was conducted in the Research Farm of the Faculty of Agricultural and veterinary medicine- Ibb University, Yemen, in 2012 – 2013 to study the effect of 4 levels of phosphate fertilizer, (tri super phosphate 46%(T1(0) T2(100), T3(200) and T4(300) )kg/ha P2O5) on alfalfa forage. The experimental design was randomized complete Block deign (R.C.B.D) in quadruplicates. The results showed a significant difference among the treatments (T3, T4, T2), respectively, and control (T1) in each of harvests (2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 and11), also showed significant difference between T3 and T4 compared with T2 in the harvests (2,4) with the highest plant high in (T3) in most harvests. The number of branches was not significant except between both of T3, T4 and both of T2, T1in harvest 9. The production of alfalfa forage were between (3.78- 18.67 t/ha) the production was increased with the increasing of P levels up to (200kg/ha) T3, and it decreased at (300kg/ha) T4.There were significant differences with the three treatments and control at (p≤ 0.05) where the highest differences were for T3 followed by T4 in all harvests, and there were differences among T3, T4 and T2 which surpassed T1. Dry matter and fiber were increased by P increasing directly.
