TY - JOUR ID - TI - Effect of extracts and powders of plant parts for ( Melilotus indica) on the lengths and fresh weights of wheat plants in infested with Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn AU - Sura Muhammad Dakhil Al Turaihy AU - Majeed Meteb Dewan PY - 2015 VL - 7 IS - 3 SP - 123 EP - 139 JO - Kufa Journal for Agricultural Sciences مجلة الكوفة للعلوم الزراعية SN - 20727798 23128186 AB - The study aimed to investigate the effect of extracts and powders of plant parts for the yellowmelilot on lengths and fresh weights of wheat which planted in incoulated soil with Rhizoctonia solaniKuhn (R.s.1and R.s.2), it was found that the shoot extract inhibited their plant height, to 15.5, 18, 15.5and 11.5 cm in the 10, 20, 40 and 80% concentrations, respectively compared with 30.7 cm in controltreatment.The root extracts increased the shoot lengths of the plants at 40% concentration, to 35.5 cm comparedwith 30.7 cm in control treatment, while it reduced to 23.3 cm compared at 80% concentration. Alsothe shoot extract yellow melilot decreased the weight of wheat plants to 23.6 mg at 80% concentrationcompared with 150 mg in control treatment.The study showed that the root extracts of yellow melilot promoted the soft weights of wheat plants to188.3 and 215.6 mg in 10 and 40% concentration, respectively, compared with 150 mg in controltreatment.The inoculated soil with R.s.1 and mixed with seed and shoot of yellow melilot caused inhibition ofthe growth of wheat plants which was reflected on the lengths and soft weights of wheat plants so theless growth of lengths and weights for wheat plants were in (soil + seed powder + sterilized milletseeds) treatment ( 0.617 cm and 5.00 mg) compared with(10.217cm and 54.33mg) in the soil onlytreatment respectively, while the inoculated soil R.s.2 and mixed with root powder of yellow melilotincreased the wheat growth The highest lengths and soft weights appeared in the (soil + root powder+ R.s.2 + sterilized millet seeds) which were (20.25 cm and 267.77 mg) compared with(10.58 cm and92.83 mg) respectively in the soil only treatment.
