Abstract | ||
The experiment was conducted during winter season of 2012-2013 at the desert farm in Zubair-Basrah to study the effect of algae extract (Biozyme TF) on growth and yield of two cultivars of cabbage. Experiment included factorial treatment resulted from interaction between cultivars (Marcello and Lucky Ball) and four treatments of applying algae extract (0,2,3,4) times of irrigation. The experiments was in split plot design with three replicates in randomized complete design. Means were compared by Duncan multiple range test at 0.05 level. Results showed Lucky Ball cultivar was superior in leave area, head weight, head diameter and total yield compared to Marcello cultivar. Treatment of irrigation by algae extract(Biozyme TF) on all studied characteristics significant effect on all studied characteristics particularly, three times irrigation which caused significant increase in plant height, number of curled leaves, fresh and dry weight of roots, width and leaf area, total plant weight, weight and diameter of curled head and total yield compared with control treatment. The interaction between the two factors was significant in most studied characteristics. Plants of Lucky Ball cultivar which irrigated three times by algae extract gave highest total plant weight (2.727 kg), weight of curled leaves (2.124 kg), diameter of curled head (18.7 cm) and total yield (23.997 tons/donum). | ||
