Abstract

The experiment was conducted in a glass house at the Faculty of Education, Ain Shams University. Sprays were carried out at intervals of 15 days each were given during vegetative growth. Field bean plants at 30 days from sowing were sprayed with the following treatments -Water (Control), Bacillus licheniformis (10 10 cells/ml), Yeast (5 g/L), Algal extract (0.1%) and Humic acid (20 g/L). The plants were collected after 90 days from sowing to determine the growth parameters, phytohormones, pigments, total carbohydrate, protein and minerals. The growths of plants were increased except in number of leaves of the algal extract treated plants. On the other hand, these treatments significantly increased auxins, and gibberellins in treating plant shoot, while abscisic acid was decreased. The addition of biostimuants significantly increased pigments, carotenoids concentrations and total carbohydrates. Biostimulants increased proteins significantly except in bacteria treatment plants where the protein increase was insignificant compared with control. Magnesium, nitrogen and phosphorus significantly increased, while calcium was decreased by the algae extraction compared with untreated and treated plants. The aim of the present study can be recommended in agriculture to increase quality of bean plants and when are used for organic farming, can reduce our dependence on chemical fertilizers.
