Afield experiment was in autumn seasons 2011 ,which was located on Abugarag districted 10 km west north of Babylon Governorate center . the experiment was laid in Randomized Complete Block Design with split-split plots arrangement with three blocks, the treatment included dates foliar potassium main plots (D1 ,30 days past planting, D2, flowering stage , D3 blister-kernels) , the sub plots content of nitrogen levels ( N1 ,320 kg .h-1 , N2, 360 kg .h-1 , N3, 400 kg .h-1) , the sub-sub plots content of three concentration potassium foliar application ( 0 , 1000 , 2000 ) mg k. L-1 .
The levels nitrogen fertilizer N2 3360 kg N. h-1 significant gave the highest; plant height , leaf area , no.row/ear, 500 grain weight ,grain yield ; (223.39 cm , 6335 cm2 , 16.865 row ,141.99 g , 13.749tan/h-1 .compard with N1 320 kg / h-1 gave the lowest values (198.44cm , 5530 cm2, 14.200 row , 13.70g , 8.239 ta / h-1 ,the potassium concentration ,C2 (1000mgK.L-1 ) significant gave the highest average of number of rows ,weight 500 grain ,15.919row, 138.62g , ) compared with C3 (2000 mg k. L-1 ) gave the lowest values 5931cm2 , 15.37 row, 137.08g.
The results also showed significant interaction between study factors in the most study characteristics.
It can be concluded from this study that, in dates to foliar potassium application D2 , levels nitrogen fertilizer N2 (360kg.N/h-1) and potassium concentration C2(1000 mg K.L-1) ,growth characteristics and ultimately the yield of Zea mays L |
