Abstract
The study was conducted during summer season of 2015 in Abo-Kassib, Basrah, to study the effect of different levels of urea fertilizer and foliar application of chelated iron in growth and yield of okra Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench var. kinaseria. The design of experiment was established as complete randomized block design which include nine factorial treatments at three concentration (0, 60 , 120) kg/ Donum and three concentrations of chelated iron (0, 50, 100) mg/L means were compared according to least significant difference L.S.D. at significant level of 0/05 test was used at probability of 0.05. The result were summarized as follow: The using of urea at (60, 120) kg/ Donum led to significant increase in length of plants, number of branches, total leaves number , leaf area , percentage 0f root dry mater, pods number, total earlier yield, length and diameter in pods and protein percentage comparing with plants which weren`t fertilization. The plants which were sprayed with chelated iron had significant increasing at concentration (50, 100) mg/ L in steam diameter, total leaves number, leaf area , percentageof root dry mater, soluble carbohydrates in leaves, pods number, total early and total yield and pods length comparing to control treatment.
