The present investigation was conducted at the nursery of Fac. of Agric., Minia Univ. during the two successive seasons of 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 to explore the most suitable level of compost for Ammi visnaga plants grown in sandy soil.
All studied vegetative growth characters (plant height, branch number and herb dry weight/plant); yield parameters (number of umbels/plant and seed yield per plant and per fed); and chemical constituents (photosynthetic pigments and herb percent and content of N, P and K) were gradually increased parallel to the increase in compost level added to the soil. However, no clear difference was obtained, for all prementioned traits, between the medium compost level (12.5 ton/fed) and the high one (17.5 ton/ fed). In general, seed yield per fed, due to medium or high compost rate was increased by about 30%.
