| Abstract | ||
| This experiment was conducted in the one of Technical Institute / Musayab farms during the season of 2012 to study the effect of agricultural sulfur addition and foliar spray of seaweed extract (anfazyme) on growth and yield of Okra var. Hissainawya.The agricultural sulfur was added three weeks befor plantation with 4 leveles (0, 500, 1000, 2000) kg.hectare-1.The plants were sprayed with Anfazyme at concentrations of 0, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00 ml/l twice , the first at the beginning of flowering, the second 20 days after the first spray, by using R.C.B.D design with three replicates. Results showed that the addition of agricultural sulfur at levele of 2000 kg.hectare-1 with 0.75 ml.l-1 of Anfazyme realized the highest average of plant height (187.43cm), branches number (8.06 branch.plant-1) and leaves number (74.36 leaf.plant-1), leaf area (135.22dec2.plant-1), fruit number (134.11fruit .plant-1), fruit weight (3.34 gm), total yield (447.91gm.plant-1), early yield (1201.84 kg.hectare-1) and total yield (14.928 ton.hectare-1), While the control treatment gave the lowest average of these properties. | ||
