In this research we studied the effect of compost including phosphate flotation waste, phosphogypsum and cactus on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plant growth and yield for 4 months under greenhouse systems in morocco. Chickpea development presented elevated variability. Phosphate flotation waste, contrary to the phosphogypsum, had positive effects on chickpea productivity; significant increase in biomass yield was demonstrated under phosphate flotation waste treatment (38.16%) and combination of phosphate flotation waste and cactus (48.87%). Phosphate flotation waste improved chickpea yield parameters and its effect was even more significant while adding cactus. Cactus might be a good material for enhancing the absorbance of nutrients by plants. When the phosphate flotation wastecactus combination was optimal, supplementary parameters productivity was registered in certain situations. Furthermore, this research was the first to establish that the mixture including phosphate flotation waste, manure and cactus could not only enhance plant yield and growth but further assume for long-term agricultural productivity and right soil fertility.
