Abstract
A field experiment was carried out to study the effect of foliar application adding liberale as a source for ferrous and humus as a source for potassium on growth and yield of wheat variety SABAH. Plants were fertilized with 40 kg N + 40 kg P / ha as a top dressing. Plants were sprayed at fellering growth stage with the following treatment ( No spray ; 7% Fe ; 7% Fe + 8% K ; 14% Fe ; 14% Fe + 8% K ; 21% Fe ; 21% Fe + 8% K and 8% K ). Results showed that excluding leaf number growth traits stem length , flag leaf area and plant dry weight increased with the foliar application of ferrous and potassium ( i.e. 44.7 cm / plant , 51.62 cm2 / plant and 1.90 gm plant respectively ). Where as 7% Fe + 8% K gave the best results. Seed number and 100 seed weight were maximum at 7% Fe + 8% K (i. e. 57.8 grain / spike and 5.17 gm respectively). The application of 14% Fe gave the highest grain and biological yield ( 2.18 and 5.49 ton / ha respectively ). Fertilization with humus resulted in lowest biological yield compared with no foliar treatment.
