Clean cultivation of (Vicia faba L) using household waste

Agriculture has been practiced for thousands of years without the use of any chemicals, and the use of these agricultural chemicals not only causes degradation of arable land, but also causes soil pollution. To overcome this situation, organic agriculture is the only solution that only involves natural resources such as organic materials, plant and animal waste, and microbes. This is what helped increase the importance of research, as a pot experiment was carried out in Tartous Governorate for the 2021-2022 season to study the effect of some household waste, such as (Rice water and ground egg shells) in the growth and development of bean plants. In addition to the evidence, water only, as natural fertilizers free of chemical compounds. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design.

The results showed that there were significant differences between the studied treatments compared to the control, and the rice water treatment achieved significant superiority in morphological traits (plant height, number of leaves, number of branches), while the eggshell treatment excelled in productive traits (number of flowers, number of pods, seed weight, productivity per hectare).
