Table 10 Economic feasibility of algae and sulfur-coated urea fertilizers on yield of soybean and mungbean. (Average of two years)

From: Influence of sulfur coated urea and algae fertilization on productivity of some leguminous crops in sandy soils

Fertilizers	Soybean
Fertilizers	Seed yield (ton/fed)	Price (L.E.)	Straw yield (ton/fed)	Price (L.E.)	Total yield income
Control (U)	0.85	6800	1.38	3450	10,250
SCU	1.38	11,040	2.17	5425	16,465
Algae	1.41	11,280	2.36	5900	17,180
SCU + algae	1.45	11,600	2.50	6250	17,850
Seed yield of soybean = 8 L.E/kg				Straw yield of soybean = 2.5 L.E/kg

Fertilizers	Mungbean
Fertilizers	Seed yield (ton/fed)	Price (L.E.)	Straw yield (ton/fed)	Price (L.E.)	Total yield income
Control (U)	0.85	8500	1.99	3980	12,480
SCU	1.19	11,900	2.59	5180	17,080
Algae	1.23	12,300	2.66	5320	17,620
SCU + algae	1.30	13,000	2.67	5340	18,340
Seed yield of mungbean = 10 L.E/kg				Straw yield of mungbean = 2 L.E/kg
