| Abstract | ||
| The experiment was conducted in the fruit nursery of college of agriculture / Tikrit university, during 2012 growing season , to study the influence of foliar spray of combination with two concentrations of nitrogen ( 0.2 and 0.4 % N ) as urea and 100 mg Fe.L-1 from one of four sources of iron ( Ferrous sulfate, Iron chloride, Ferric sulfate and Ferric carbonate ), and water as a control, on the vegetative growth characteristics of "Labeeb" apricot seedlings , grown on a calcareous soil. R.C.B.D. design with three replicates was used. The results obtained that T2 treatment ( 0.2 % N + ferrous sulfate ) increased significantly the total leaf area ( 3799.3 cm2 ), number of branches ( 12.33 ) and length of branches ( 39.11 cm ), while T6 treatment increased significantly seedlings height ( 32 cm ) and number of branches ( 14.83 ). | ||
