| Abstract | ||
| This experiment was conducted during the season Autumnal of 2013-2014 at the department of horticulture and landscape research station/ college of Agriculture/ Tikrit university to study the effect of irrigation method and nutrient type (Lili) on vegetative growth characteristics and the yield of broccoli Calabrese variety. Two factors were used in the experiment; First factor was surface and drip irrigation method, the second factor is spraying with nutrient (Lili) at three levels 0 ml/L (control), 1 ml/L, and 2 ml/L. The following characteristics were studied: plant height, leaf length, branch number, leaves number, head width, and the total yield. The results showed higher results of drip irrigation over surface irrigation for all the studied characteristics the value of influence of prescription plant height (26.94) cm, total yield (1045) kg. D -1, paper length (15.16) cm, number of branches (31.32) branch. Plant-1, number of leaf (34.67) leaf. Plant -1 and head diameter (24.42) cm, the results also showed that spraying by nutrient Lili of 2 ml / L showed superior to characters leaf length and number of branches totaled effect two (13.75) cm and (30.90) branch. Plant-1 respectively, and the superiority of the spray when the 1 ml / L. for the head diameter (24.72) cm, while the nutrient levels on other characteristics were not significant. The combination of irrigation method and nutrient levels, showed that the combination of drip irrigation and level of nutrient 1 ml / L greater of plant height and leaves number significant on other combinations influence (31.10) cm, the superiority of interaction between drip irrigation and the level 2 ml /L of nutrient Lili show superiority to characters total yield, leaf length, number of branches, number of leaves and head diameter reached influence (11.33) kg. D-1, (17.223 cm), (31.97) branch. Plant -1, (32.33) leaf. Plant -1 and (25.75) cm, respectively. the combination of drip irrigation and 2 ml/L nutrient level of Lili on branch number, leaves number, and the total yield on the combination of surface irrigation with control treatment and 1ml/L of nutrient. The combination of drip irrigation and 2 ml/L nutrient showed significant result of head characteristic compared to control treatment for both irrigation methods. | ||
