Abstract

The  experiment  was  conducted  in  the  green  house  of  the  College  of  Agriculture , University  of  Diyala  for  the  season  2009 – 2010  on  sandy  loam  soil .  RCBD  system  was  applied  with  three  replications . The  experiment  included  two  water  factors , magnetic  and  non-magnetic  water ,  and  four  depth  of  water  applications  (surface  drip  irrigation  (D0) , subsurface  at  depth  of  5 , 10 ,and15 cm   namely  D5  ,  D10  , and D15 , respectively .  Polyethylene  pipes  of  5cm in  diameter  were  used  to  produced  different  length  of  pipes  which   located  near  each  plant  under  the  dripper .  Magnetic  device  of  1500  gauss  was  used  to produce magnetized water.             The  results  explained  that  there  is  a highly  significant  differences  by  using  magnetic  water  for  all  treatments  in  growth  Parameters  (  plant  height ,  leaf  area ,  dry  root  weight ,vegetative dry weight) and yield as compared with non-magnetic water.  The  depth of water  application  at  5 cm  (D0)  was  highly  significant  in  all  growth  parameters  as  compared  with  other  depth of  water  applications.  The  highest  value  of  plant  height , leaf  area ,  vegetative  dry  weight , and  dry  root  weight  at  D5  and  magnetic  water  treatments  are  146.33 cm ,  9472.66 cm2/plant ,  98.48gm/plant, and  4.4 gm/plant  ,  respectively .  The  highest  value  of  total  yield  at  the  D5  with  magnetic  water  treatment  is  27.61  ton/ha  as  compared  with  20.21  ton/ha  at  D15  treatment
