Abstract

Canola has been introduced in Egypt recently as a promising new vegetable oil crop especially in the newly reclaimed lands usually exposed to different environmental stresses which limits their growth and productivity. Field experiment had been done Research and Production Station, National Research Centre, Nubaria location, Beheira Governorate, Egypt during 2019/2020 to study the economic analysis of compost (0, 2, 4, and 6 ton fed^-1) and zinc (0, 50, and 100 ppm) application on Canola production under deficit irrigation condition. Results on the effect of compost and zinc application rate and their interactions under sufficient and deficit irrigation treatment observed that application of 6.0-ton compost fed^-1 combined with 100 ppm Zn increased the values of seed, straw, and oil yield of canola under sufficient and deficit irrigation treatments over the remaining treatment applied and control. Increased zinc application rate from 50 ppm to 100 ppm led to an increase in the seed yield, straw yield, and oil yield of canola. The Canola plant receiving 6-ton compost in combination with 100 ppm foliar application of Zinc registered the highest gross returns, net returns, Benefit: cost ratio of seed yield, straw yield, and oil yield an oil cake yield followed by 50 ppm Zn foliar application with the same compost level as compared to other treatments and control under sufficient and deficit irrigation treatment, respectively. This practice can help to obtain higher profit over the conventional application of a recommended dose of fertilizers to the canola crop.
