EFFECT OF SPARYING FOLIAR NUTREINT ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF GARLIC Allium sativumL

Abstract

The study was conducted in the field of .Horticulture. Dept ., college of Agriculture ,University of Baghdad- Abu Gharaib in growing season 2007- 2008 to in vestigate the influence of a foliar sprays of organic fertilizer , calcium and Total in growth and composed yield of garlic plants were sprayed three times starting from 30/1/2008 and period between them are two weeks .The treatment as arranged in ( RCBD ) with 3 replicate using ( L.S.D) to compete the differences between the treatment the experimental recruits was as follows : -

The cloves of the superior treatment poly amine at a rate 2 g / 1 and Total fertilizer at a rate l g / l (M2) which gave the highest value plant highest (73.7cm / plant ) ,leaf area a per plant ( 1084.3 cm2) and dry weight of vegetative parts ( 2t,2 g / plain) as compared with the control treatment which gave lowest value (56.3c m / plant) , (402.+cm2) and (8.8g / plant ) respectively. A significant increases in this treatment ( M 2) bulb diameter ( 5.9cm / bulb) , number of bullbat per bulb ( 38. 7 bulble / bulb ) as compared with the control treatment (M0) ( 3.5 cm/ bulb ), (26.0 bulble/ bulb ) respectively. A significant increased influenced the yield which gave the highest total yield (4.8ton /ha) as compared with the control treatment (M0 ) which gave lowest ( 2.g ton / ha ) . The results showed that foliar sprays fertilizer Total at l g /1 (M7) significantly increased the number of leaves per plant ( 11.3 leave / plant ) , fresh weight of vegetative parts ( 85.9g / plant ) , dry weight of roots ( 8.9 g / plant ) percentage of vegetative part /root ( 5. 5 %) and increased diameter of bulb neck ( 1.7 cm ) as compared with the control treatment which gave lowest ( 6.6 leave / plant) , 4l.l g /plant) ,( 1.8 g/ plant) , ( 1.6 %) and ( 1.0c m / bulb ) respectively and did not differ significant treatment ( M7) with treatment ( M4) which gave highest average weight of bulblet ( 1.1g / bulblet) as compared with the control treatment ( M0 ) which gave the lowest ( 0.8 g / bulblet ) . Foliar sprays with poly amine at a rote of 2 .5 g /1 and, Total fertilizer at a rate of 1 g / l significant increases leaves connect of nitrogen upto (3.3% ) as compared the control treatment (M0 ) which gave lowest value of (1.0% ) . A significantly foliar with poly amine at a rate of 2.5 g /1 and calcium at a rate 2 .5 g / l and Total fertilizer at a rate 1 g /1 (M6 ) leave contact of phosphor up to ( 0.8 %) as compared with the control treatment( MO) which gave lowest value of ( 0.5 %) between treatments prays poly amine at a rate of 1.5g / 1 and Total fertilizer at rate l g / 1 ( M l ) as compared with ( 0.8 % ) in the control treatment.
