| Abstract | ||
| A field experiment was carried out in a sandy soil mixture. At Al – Naemea Region, Falluja City of Al –Anbar province during the spring and autumn seasons of 2013 to study the Effect of Four concentrations of zinc spraying (0,10,20,30) mg .l-1 on growth and yield of three cultivars of sorghum (Inkath ,Rabeh ,Kafeer) .Factorial arrangement was use according to R.C.B.D. with three replicates. The results showed that the cultivar Kafeer gave the highest mean for each of the plant height ,leaf area ,leaf area index, crop growth rate and 500 grain weight .While The cultivar Inkath gave the highest mean for each of the number of days from planting to 50% flowering, number of grain per head and grain yield (5.44 and 6.83) t.ha-1 for two season respectively .The concentration 30 mg .l-1 from zinc spraying gave the lowest mean of number of days from planting to 50% flowering and also gave highest mean for plant height ,leaf area ,leaf area index, number of grain per head, 500 grain weight and total grain yield (6.04 and 6.84) t.ha-1 respectively. The interaction between cultivar Kafeer and concentration 30 mg .l-1 was a significant in the number of days from planting to 50% flowering, plant height ,leaf area ,leaf area index and 500 grain weigh .While the interaction between cultivar Inkath and the same concentration gave the highest mean of total grain yield in the spring season only . | ||
