| Abstract | ||
| This study was carried out at the Horticulture and Land scape research Station / College of Agriculture / Tikrit University on the season 2013- 2014 on parsley plants (Petroselinum crispum Mill.), it aimed to study the effect of garlic extract and chelated iron (Fe-EDTA) on the Vegetative growth characters . A farm experiment was conducted in a sandy clay loam soil , where the seeds cultured in a plots (1×2m) , as A factorial experiment with 2 factors , the first was spraying with a garlic extract (Allium sativum L.) with 3 levels (0 , 5 and 10%) From acrod extract , The second was addition of chelated iron (Fe-EDTA) with 4 Levels (0 , 2 , 3 , 4 g.m-2). Designed with A Randomized Complete Block Designed , and Replicated 3 Times and the means were Compared with Cancun's Multiple range test at the probability of (5%). The results were as fellow:-: Spraying with garlic extract (5 and 10%) caused a significant increase in all the vegetative growth characters compared with those not sprayed. The chelated iron addition also caused a significant increase in all vegetative growth characters compared with no chelated iron added plants. The interaction between garlic extract and chelated iron was significant. The parsley plants in the treatment (G2F3) the plant sprayed with 10% garlic extract and fertilized with 4 g.m-2 of chelated iron , have a highest significant values in a plant height (22.6 cm) , No. of leaves per plant (15.66) , No. of branches per plant (5.020) , Dry mater percent (19.39%) , Leaf area (6.176 cm2) and chlorophyll (1.53 mg.g wet weight ). Compared with lowest values of these vegetative growth characters in a control plants . | ||
