The field was divided into three replicates, each consisting of 27 experimental units, In each experimental unit, 20 plants of the Detroit variety were sown using drip irrigation systems. Sowing took place from October 15, 2024, to February 15, 2025. Three factors were used: The first factor consisted of three irrigation intervals levels, it is symbolized A1 (irrigation according to field capacity), A2 (irrigation three days after field capacity) and A3 (irrigation six days after field capacity), the second factor consisted of three levels of fertilization with plant residues, it is symbolized B1 (the control treatment, adding NPK + Urea chemical fertilizer), B2: Adding palm frond residues with 25% NPK + Urea and B3: Adding rice residues with 25% NPK + Urea, the third factor consisted of three levels of bio fertilization it is symbolized C1: Control treatment without addition, C2: Adding Trichoderma fungus and C3: Adding Mycorrhizal fungus. The results showed that adding palm frond and rice residues and adding Trichoderma and Mycorrhizal fungi had a positive effect on all studied traits, no significant differences were observed when irrigation was delayed beyond the plant and soil's field capacity requirements, also when compared to chemical fertilization with NPK and Urea, this contributes to reducing the use of chemical fertilizers, mitigating environmental pollution, optimizing the use of natural resources and achieving sustainable agriculture.
