Abstract
Abstract:
The research was conducted in a greenhouse at the Department of Horticulture and Garden Engineering, College of Agriculture, University of Anbar, Ramadi City, to study the impact of NPK supplementation and CPPU cytokinin spraying on Ficus nitida L.'s vegetative and root growth properties. The study encompassed two primary factors. The first factor comprises the NPK chemical fertilizer in four distinct concentrations: F0 (no addition), F1 (1g urea, 3g DAB, 2g potassium sulfate), F2 (2g urea, 6g DAB, 4g potassium sulfate), and F3 (3g urea, 9g DAB, 4g potassium sulfate). The second factor involves the cytokine CPPU at three concentrations: C0 (no addition), C1 (3 mg/ liters), and C2 (6 mg/ liter). The study was structured using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) comprising three blocks, with three pots allocated per experimental unit. Each block consisted of 36 coefficients, resulting in a total of 108 experimental units across all blocks. Increasing the quantity of secondary branches to sum up the outcomes, plant cover area, average diameter of secondary branches, dry matter percentage of leaves, total chlorophyll content in leaves, phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium ratios in the leaves, with ratios of 47.333 cm, 0.644 cm, 7.160 mm, 23.964%, 1.443 mg g-1, 0.390%, 2.860%, and 1.923% respectively.
