Abstract :
An experiment was conducted out during 2009 to study the effect of spraying numbers ( 0, 2 and 4 ) of Alaska foliar fertilizer (N:12, P2O5 :12 , K2O: 36 , Fe : 0.05% , Cu:0.005% , Mn: 0.03% , Zn: 0.01% , B: 0.02% , Mo: 0.003% ) on growth and yield of 7 potato cvs. (Draga, Aladin, Elpaso, Kurado, Diseree, Provento, and Red Brown ). Factorial experiment included 21 treatments arranged in Random Complete Bloke Design (RCBD) with 4 replications. Results showed that foliar fertilizer had a significant effect on plant height, tuber weight and total yield. Potato cvs differ in all studied parameters. High yields were obtained from Red Brown, Provento and Draga cvs. Interactions had a significant effect on the most studied parameters. |
