Abstract Column and pot experiments were conducted throughout the present work and the objectives are: 1. Evaluation the role of magnetized irrigation water and organo-mineral fertilization on the availability of elements and salt removal from the sandy soil. 2. Evaluation the role of magnetized irrigation water on faba bean growth characters and composition. Total salt removal from the soil was greater in soil irrigated with magnetized water compared with the normal water. Soil salinity was significantly decreased after the leaching with different magnetized irrigation water compared with the different normal water. Soluble Fe and Mn concentrations in water leachate were increased by applying both sewage sludge compost (SSC) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) as compared with untreated soil. The concentration of soluble Fe; and Mn and available P in soil after leaching process was decreased with soil depth due to leaching with both the normal and magnetized irrigation water. Plant length, fresh and dry weights of shoot and root; shoot and root N; P and K contents and uptake of faba bean were significantly increased by using magnetized irrigation water. Shoot N and K contents and uptake were highly significant increased by the individual and the combined application of SSC and TCP to soil compared with untreated soil. Soil available N, P and K were significantly increased by adding both the individual and the combined SSC and TCP. Generally, using different magnetized water sources, soil available N, P and K were significantly increased.
