The research was conducted in a private orchard in fadhiliya village, located15km. east of Mosul city, during2009- 2011 seasons to study the Effect of Some Organic compounds and application dates on growth and flowering of Olive (Olea europaea L.) CV. Bashikey.
The study consist three replicates in a factorial experiment by using complete randomized design (C.R.D.), and the means compared by using least significant difference (L.S.D.) at 0.05% probability level. The most important results were as follows:
Spraying with Sea force1 extract in resulted in superiority in leaf area,and chlorophyll A. Humus addition resulted in a significant increase in leaf area, chlorophyll A and chlorophyll B. Also 50 mg./L of Benzyl Adenine treatment was superior in leaf area, chlorophyll B and total chlorophyll in the second season. Interaction between Sea force1 and Hurnus + Benzyl Adenine gave a significant increase in new shoot number and chlorophyll A, whereas, the increase was in the leaf area, chlorophyll A, also interaction with Benzyl Adenine was superior significantly chlorophyll B. spraying with Sea force1 extract increased flowers numbers, and 2 ml/1 of Sea force1 extract reduced fruits drop. Humus addition, reduced fruits drop at the concentration 6 ml/1. Interaction between Sea force1 and Humus + Benzyl Adenine caused in a significant increase in flower numbers, while fruit set increased during the season, and interaction of 2 ml Sea force1 + 6 ml/1 Humus reduced fruit drop at the seasons. |
