| Abstract | ||
| The experiments was carried out in a plastic house belongs to college of Agriculture-University of Kufa during the growing season 2011 - 2012 .The aim was to study the effect of soil mulching and spraying the extracts of liquorice roots and Garlic bulblets on growth parameters of sweet pepper plant var ."California wonder" grown in plastic house. The experiment had comprised twelve treatments between soil mulches (Wihout mulches "control", transparent polyethylene and black polyethylene ) and spraying with the extract of liquorice root and Garlic bulblet (control , liquorice root extract, Garlic bulblets extracts and liquorice root and Garlic bulblets extracts ) on vegetative growth plants . Split plot design with Randomized Complete Block Design (R.C.B.D.) with three replicate was used .Means was compared at probability of 0.05 by Least Significant Differences (L.S.D.). Spraying by the extracts of liquorice root and Garlic bulblets has an effect on the most of vegetative growth characters. Spraying with both Liquorice root and Garlic bulblets extracts gave the highest means for the above characters compared with the other treatment. There were also a significant effects of the interaction of the two factors on vegetative growth characters compared to the other interaction treatment. The results also showed the highest heat accumulation in soil produced from black polyethylene, followed by transparent polyethylene and the least was from control treatments respectively. Results were indicated significantly effect of black polyethylene on other mulch treatment on vegetative growth characteristics (plant height, branches number, total leaf number, leaf area, total vegetative dry weight and leaves chlorophyll content) yield parameters (plant fruit number, one fruit weight, one plant yield and total yield). Interactions between two factors had a significant effect on all parameter compared with the interaction of control which gave lower values for the studied characters. | ||
