Abstract
An experiment was conducted in afield belong to the Technical Institute of Kufa, during the period from 7/12/2012 till 4/1/2013 determine the effect of irrigation water quality and its intensity of magnetically treated of bread wheat three cultivars (Triticumaestivum L.) on some germination parameters (germination percentage, germination coefficient and germination index) and early vegetative growth (Radicaleand plumule length) four weeks after sowing. The experiment was designed as Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) and split split – plots arrangement with three replication.The experiment included studying three factors; irrigation water quality (river water or well water) were put as Main plot, wheat bread cultivars. (IPAA-99, Rashid and Tamuze-2) Sub-plot and magnetic treatment of water with four intensities (0 Control, 750, 1500 and 3000 gauss) Sub-sub-plot. Revised Least Significant Difference (RLSD) at 0.05 probability was used to compare means. Results showed that most of germination studied parameters and early vegetative growth were superior for river water compared to well water. Rashid cultivar gave the highest means for the studied parameters compared to the other cultivars. 750 gauss produced the highest germination parameters means. Whereas, 1500 and 3000 gauss treatments gave the highest means for early vegetative growth in radicale and plumule lengths. It could be concluded that using magnetically technique of irrigation water resulted in speedy and increasing germination parameters and then increasing growth besides, improving soil characteristics due to depletion 0f its salinity.
