A field experiment was conducted at farm of Field Crops Depart, College of
Agaric, Univ of Baghdad during the seasons 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 to study
the effect of spraying (MS) nutrition solution and boron only or together during
the important stages of the plant faba beans the growth, yield and quality.
A split plot on in with R. C. B. D. distribution was three replications. Levels
of boron used 0,200, 400 mg.L-1.they were assigned to the main plots. While the
number of spraying in three intervals (spray the plants with water only) and the
treatment of two spray times before flowering and at flowering 25% and the
treatment three spray times before and at flowering 25% and flowering 50%
were assigned as sub plots.
The results showed a significant effect of the number of times spraying (MS)
nutrition solution on plant height, biological yield, chlorophyll content, fertility
rate, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, seed weight, seed
yield, protein and carbohydrates content, except Width pod in both seasons. The treatment that was sprayed two time give the highest plant 63.33 و 52.82 cm,
number of branches. plant-1 9.00 و 5.03 branch plant, biological yield و 10.77
14.16 t.ha1-, chlorophyll content of 53.23 and 56.26 (Mu.gm.cm2)1 -number of
pods per plant 12.00 و 6.06 Pod ،seed weight 1299 و 1312 mg, total seed yield
6.56 and 6.97t.ha1-, ratio of protein 25.84% و 26.26 and carbohydrate و 24.25
25.01% for two seasons respectively. While the treatment that was sprayed three
times gave the longest pods 16.22 و 18.19 cm ،fertility rate 13.33% و 8.12 ،
number of seeds.Pod-1., 3.78 و 4.57 for two seasons respectively, harvest index
63.12% for the first season only. Significantly influenced levels of boron and
interaction in most traits, except width Pod in both seasons.
The results showed that the highest seed yield 8.80 و 7.37 t.ha1- of significant
interaction between two sprays times of (MS) nutrition solution with
concentration of 200 mg.L-1 of the boron during two seasons respectively. |
