Influence of Bio- fertilizer and Spraying with the plant extracts on some growth indicators and leaves content of Nutrient in Punica granum (wonderful)

Abstract

The study was Conducted to identify the influence of Bio- fertilizer(EM-1) on the growth and leaves content of nutrient (N, P and K) of Pomegranate seedlings grown in the Horticulture and forestry station –Babel in the season 2014-2015. Three different levels of Bio-fertilizer(EmM-1) were combined with four levels of plant extract. The EM-1 - concentrations were (0, 4 and 8 ml.L-1) , and the plant extraction were ( control , liquorice , garlic extract and palm pollen) .this experiment was carried out in factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) each treatment being replicated three times. The results showed that the EM-1 with 8 ml. L-1 was superiority in all traits in shoot, root and leaf content of (N, P and K). However, the plant extract from liquorice was significantly higher in all traits tested. Moreover, the interaction was effective on plant height, leaf area, No. of leaves, total shoot, weight root dry, (total dry weight) and leaves content of nutrient which were (172.51 cm ,6.61 cm ,381.0 leaves ,36.18 g ,19.09 g, 2.96% ,1.06 % ,1.93%) respectively.
