| Abstract | ||
| A field experiment was carried out at a private field in Babylon province/ Mashrooa-Al-Mussseibtown during autumn season of 2015. The aim was to study the effect of sulfur and vitamin C on some yieldcharacters of corn crop. Randomized Complete Block Design (R.C.B.D) was used by arrangement of factorial experiments using three replications.The study included two factors, the first factor was the addition of sulfur in 4 levels (0,2,4,6) Mega gram.ha-1 as a single dose a month prior to planting, and the symbols used were (S,S2,S4,S6) respectively. The second factor was spraying 4 concentrations of vitamin C (0,1,2,3) gram.L-1 after month of planting and the symbols used were (V0,V1,V2,V3).Results showed significant superiority in corn cob, weight of 300grain and plant yield when sulfur used at level 4 Mega gram.h-1 , while addition of vitamin C showed that spraying at the concentration of 2gm.L-1caused in superiority differencein all studied characters | ||
