Abstract
An experiment was conducted at the nursery of Department of Horticulture and Landscape College of Agricultural University of Kufa from the period of 25/6/2010 untill 3/2/2011 to study the effect of spraying of three concentrations of Benzladenine (BA) i.e. 0 , 50 ,100 mg.L-1 and three concentrations of Chelated Magnesium i.e. 0 , 500 , 1000 mg.L-1 on the vegetative growth and flowering parameters of Chrysanthemum plant "Chrysanthemum hortorum Hort." with three spraying times i.e. 2/8/2010 , 2/9/2010 and 2/10/2010 for Chelated Magnesium and 5/8/2010 , 5/9/2010 and 5/10/2010 for Benzyladenine (BA) .
The experiment conducted in as Factorial experiment , Randomized Complete Block Design (R.C.B.D.) with three replicates, Duncan's Multiple Range Test was used at probability of 0.05 to compare the means of treatments .
Results could be summarized a follow :
Spraying with Benzyladenine at concentration of 50 mg.L-1 or Chelated Magnesium at concentration of 1000 mg.L-1 increased significantly all studied characteristics which gave the highest leaf number , percentage of vegetative dry weight, mean of root length , flower diameter , flower stalk diameter , the percentage of Protein and Phosphorus . diameter stem increased significantly with Benzladenine at concentration of 100 mg.L-1 or Chelated Magnesium at 1000 mg.L-1 . as compared in the control treatment .
Results revealed that the interaction between plant treated with Benzyladenine at concentration of 50 mg.L-1 and Chelates Magnesium at concentration of 1000 mg.L-1 increased significantly all the studied characteristics . |
