Abstract | ||
The experiment was carried out, the Field Experiments of the Field Crops Department, College of Agriculture, University of Baghdad, during the autumn season of 2017, The aim was to study the yield effected by covering local gypsum 2 and 4 mm and gibberellic acid (GA3) 0, 200, 400 and 600 mg L-1, the control treatment was dry seeds. The field experiment was applied according to the design of the RCBD, four replicates. The results of the statistical analysis showed that the combination of the local plaster thickness of 4 mm and the treatment of 400 mg / L-1 of GA3 significantly exceeded the comparison treatment (dry seeds) and gave the highest mean in fertilization and number of grains per head and paper area. The resulting combination of 4 ml of local gypsum with 400 mg L-1 of GA3 gave the highest the number of head grains, the highest mean of the total grain yield and the highest mean of the percentage of protein in grains. All levels of GA3were superior to the treatment of the comparison. The treatment gave 400 mg L-1 of GA3, the fertile ratio and the weight of 100 seeds, the number of seeds in the head, the highest of total grain yield and the percentage of protein in grains. We conclude from the results of this study that the combination of 4 ml of local gypsum covering and 400 mg L-1 of GA3 gave have a positive effect on increasing the plant yield compared to the non- packaging seeds. Low local gypsum with GA3or to improve the grain yield. | ||
