| Abstract | ||
| This research was conducted in Strawberry field at Horticulture Department, College of Agriculture and Forestry, Mosul University, during 2006-2007 season to study the effect of foliar application of four concentration of Boron (0, 10, 20 and 30 mg/L) using Boric acid (17% Boron) on vegetative growth flowering and yield of two Strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa Duch.) cultivars (Hapil and Kaiser's samling).All treatments applied till dew point by using little amount of liquid soap as surfactant , each concentration of Boron sprayed twice, the first one at 30/11/2006 and the second date was at 1/5/2007 . The field of experiment divided to three blocks, plants were treated with a systematic fungicides (Asdazim 50wp) at range (1 mg/L) . Transplant planted lines to the east direction , length of each furrowed was 2.25m , with 25cm in a high the distance between two liens was 75cm and the distance between plants was 25cm . A randomized complete block design with three replicates and each experimental consist of nine plants used and a Duncan multiple range test at 5% to compose. Result obtained indicated that, leaf area , percentage of flower set , fruit weight , plant yield and total yield were significantly increased in Hapil cultivar as compare with those in Kaiser's samling cultivar . At the same time , the highest increases in leaf area , percentage of flower set and average weight of fruit recorded by foliar application of 20 mg/L of Boron, but the highest yield per plant and total yield obtained by application 0 mg/L Boron on Hapil cultivars plants. While application of 30 mg/L of Boron on Kaiser's samling plants gave the best result in percentage of leaf dry weight and total soluble solids in fruits. | ||
