| Abstract | ||
| The study was conducted at plastic-house of Horticulture Dept. Agriculture college – Tikrit University . from 09/11/2009 till 01/05/2010 on the Gladiolus plant Gladiolus x hortulanus variety white prosperity. We used the randomized block design with two factors , the first was the seaweed extracts (Energene 2.5 ml/L), (Marmarine 5 ml/L) and the second the plant extracts (licorice 2.5 g/L – Garlic 10 ml/L ) as well as control . the purpose of study knowing the response of vegetative growth and floral growth of plant .The results can be summarized as follows :- Spraying plants with seaweed Energene has significant increasing, the flowering, plant height which was 179.56 cm compared with control. Spraying with plant extract ( licorice , garlic) achieved increasing in plant height 193.16 , 193.18 cm and increasing simple leaf area or total leaves area by 9.11 – 9.45 % successively compared with control .-The treatment of Energene advanced the inflorescence emergence and the duration of yellow color emergence of first rosette in 0.85 – 1.08 , 0.69 days, successively compared with control .The Energene and Marmarine appear significant floral spike height which reached 128.03 cm and 127.42 cm for every one compared with less value 125.84 cm. recorded the treatment Garlic P2 increase significant in diameter first base rosette and number of flowers blooming in spike pink and dry weight of the raceme compared with the control treatment and an increase of 3.78, 2.26, 5.81%, respectively . the treatment P2S2 advanced the period of inflorescence emergence ,the period of first basal rosette emergence by 81.93 – 99.97 days successively compared with other treatments. | ||
