Abstract | ||
The study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of different concentrations of Salicylic acid in the induction of resistance of Cucumis sativus L. plant against fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorumin compared with the fungicide (Bastin). The results of laboratory experiments had proved that the Salicylic acid had aconsiderable influence in the inhibition of pathogenic fungus S. sclerotiorum at the lowest concentration, whereas the percentage of inhibition was 95.13 % at a concentration 0.05 mg / L . Also the results showed an increasing in plant growth indicator after 90 days. The fresh and dry weight of vegetation and root shoot and leaf area were increased 93.80 , 25.77 , 22.50 , 3.86 g , 159.5 cm2 respectively compared with the control treatment which were 58.03 , 19.97 , 16.23 , 2.68 gm , 136.4 cm2 respectively. After 30 days from cultivation, Salicylic acid treatments whit fungicide increased the fresh weight of vegetation and root system and dry weight of root system which reached 14.18 , 4.75 , 0.35 g compared with the control, which amounted 7.42 , 1.16 , 0.05 g , respectively. | ||
