Abstract
An experiment was conducted of at Agriculture college, University of Basra to study the effect of pyridoxine and potassium phosphate on vegetative, flowering growth parameters and bulbs formation of Tulip . Randomized complete Block Design were used with three replications for each treatment . pyridoxine concentration were 0,20 and 30 mg/L, while, the levels of potassium phosphate used were 0, 50 and 100mg/L. results showed that, potassium phosphate at 0,50 mg/L, was superior compared to all other treatments in lengthening flower age, flower diameter and shortened the period required for flowering . whereas, pyridoxine at 20 mg/L was superior in petiole length and plant height compared to other treatments. Potassium phosphate at 100mg/L significantly increased bulb fresh weight compared to all other treatments. Pyridoxine at 30 mg/L. significantly increased petiole diameter compared to control and vitamin B6 ( 20 mg/L ) and not significantly different with potassium phosphate at 50 and 100 mg/L.
