Abstract
Afield experiment in made in agricultural college / Tikrit university during the 2011 season to study three treatments to remove branches ( without removal , the removal of 3 branches , the removal of 6 branches ) and three agricultural spaces among plants ( 20 cm , 30 cm , 40 cm ) , by using the system of split plot . The treatments one given according to Randomized Complete Block Design in three replication . The results showed that the treament without branches removal increased mentally in dry matter percentage for vegetative growth , whereas the treatment of 3 branches removal in the character of plant / leaves number . The treatment of 6 branches increased in a plant field character . The treatment of 40 space among plants increased in the studied characters except the complete yield character which increased mentally in 30 space treatment among plants . For the interaction between the studied factors which showed increment for 3 branches removal of 30 cm space in each of leaves number character and the complete yield . The 3 branches of 40 cm space gave higher value in the chracter of stem diameter which is 36.10 mm . Whereas the treatment of without removal for the 40 cm space increased mentaly in dry mater percentage character of vegetative growth . Whereas the mental increment in each of plant / pod number , pod weight and a plant yield where the interaction between the treatment of 6 branches removal for the planted plants in 40 cm space .
