| Abstract | ||
| A field experiment was carried out at a private field in Babylon governorate / Al-Mashrooa-Al-Mussseib during Autumn season of 2015. The aim was to study the effect of sulfur and vitamin C on some vegetative growth characters 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 was the addition of sulfur at 4 levels (0,2,4,6) Mega gram.ha-1 as a single dose a month prior to planting, symbols used are (S0,S2,S4,S6) respectively. The second was spraying of 4 concentrations of vitamin C (0,1,2,3) gram.L-1 after month of planting as symbols used are (V0,V1,V2,V3). Results showed a significant difference in leaf area, stem diameter, and delay in emergence of ear and silking when sulfur used at level 4 Mega gram.h-1 however level 6 Mega gram.h-1 dominated in plant height. while addition of vitamin C spraying at concentration of 2gm.L-1 resulted in a significant difference in all studied characters. | ||
