Abstract
ABSTRACT: A Field experiment was carried out in the field of vegetables in the department of horticulture, college of Agriculture, University of Baghdad two seasons spring 2011 and spring 2012, to investigate the growth response and productivity of tomato plant to calcium and boron foliar sprays under magnetized irrigation, the plant treated with three concentration of calcium that was (0-150-200mg/l) and three concentration of boron that was (0-10-20mg/l). Two kind of water use irrigating plants with regular and magnetized water intensities (1000 gauss). The results showed that calcium and boron foliar sprays and magnetic water gave the increased to the plant height, leaf area and early Yield. The number of flowers in cluster per plant and fruit weight per plant was increased with using magnetic water and boron foliar spray while the calcium did not gave any effect in this parameter in the two seasons. Bilateral and trilateral interactions between the studies factors showed increase most of parameters in for both two seasons.
