استجابة نمو وحاصل الحلبة (Trigonella foenum-groeum) لمعدلات البذار والرش بالبورون

Abstract

This study was conducted in winter season of 2017 at two locations, Fields of College of Agriculture and Forestry-Mosul University and in Zmar town (60 km) west of Mosul city, to investigate the response of growth and fenugreek yield to seeding (30,60,90) kg/ha and boron spraying (0,30,60) mg B/l. The experiment were designed as a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates. Results showed that seeding rates have a significant effect on all studied characters except of fertility percentage and1000-seed weight and both locations, the seeding rate 30kg/ha gave the highest rate of pod length (10.02 , 10.16) cm, the seeding rate 60 kg/ha gave the highest rate of number of branches (2.24 , 2.46) branch/plant, number of pods/plant (8.50 , 10.23), number of seed/pod (14.02 , 14.14) and seed yield (1.73 , 2.12) g, while the seeding rate 90 kg/ha gave the highest rate of plant height (39.44 , 42.35) cm. Boron concentrations affected on all studied characters except of 1000-seed weight and both locations, the concentration 30 mg B/L record the highest rate of number of branches (2.22 , 2.53) branch/plant, number of pods/plant (8.73 , 10.17), pod length (9.88 , 10.30) cm, fertility percentage (93.50 , 93.62) % and seed yield (1.63 , 1.92) g, while concentration 60 mg B/l record the highest rate of number of seed/pod (14.54 , 14.60). Result showed that seeding rates and boron concentrations interaction have non significant effect on all studied characters and both locations.
