Abstract
This study was conducted at the lath house of the Horticulture Department College of Agriculture-Baghdad University at fall season 2008-2009 to investigate the effect of Gibberellic acid (GA3) and Benzyladenin (BA) application on growth and yield of Strawberry plant (Fragaria ananassa Duch.) cv. Albion. Three concentration of Gibberellic acid 0, 150, 300 mgl and three concentrations of Benzyladenin 0, 900, 1800 mgL analysis consequences according to SAS programm. The result could be summarized as follow. Gibberellic acid at 300mgL increased plant height ( 12.87 cm ) , Stolon's length ( 81.88cm ) , the number of stolon per plant ( 1.41stolon/plant ), plant per stolon (2.61plant/stolon ). As compared with control treatment which gave (0.98cm, 11.33cm, 0.13 stolon/plant, 0.29plant/stolon), respectively. The highest level of benzyladenine decreasing plant height, however it give the highest number of branches which reached (2.30 crown / plant), as compared with control treatment which was (2.09 branch/plant). The interaction between Gibberellic acid and Benzyladenin was significantly increase ( BA0 + GA300 ) treatment in plant height , Stolon length , the number of Stolon per plant , plant per Stolon which gave ( 16.06cm , 118.11cm , 1.68 Stolon/plant , 3.67plant/Stolon ) respectively . As compared with control treatment which gave ( 1.07cm , 32.33cm , 0.20Stolon/plant , 0.67plant/Stolon ) respectively . and gave ( BA1800 + GA0 ) treatment the highest number of crown 3.56 branch / plant . As compared with control treatment which gave 1.89 crown/plant .
