Response Beans Plant to the Foliar Application with Sea Alga Extract (Gaton) and vitamin E

Abstract

The experiment was carried out in a private orchard at Shat-Al-Arab District, Basrah Governorate during the winter season of 2014-2015 in order to study the effect of spraying with gaton sea alge extract at three concentrations of (0 , 25 and 50 mL.L-1 and vitamin E at three concentrations of (0, 1 and 2 ml. L-1 on growth and yield of beans plants cv. ''Luz de otono''. Results showed, plants sprayed with gaton at 50 ml. L-1 and vitamin E at 2 mg. L-1 had a significantly higher vegetative growth parameters (leaf number.plant-1, number of lateral branches.plant-1 and leaves chlorophyll content) and yield parameters (pod number.plant-1, pod weight ,seeds fresh weight of pod , seeds number of pod , pod length, Total solid soluble of fresh seeds and plant total yield of green pods and fresh seeds. Interactions between the studied factors were significant in all studied parameters except the leaves number .plants sprayed with gaton at 50 ml. L-1 and vitamin E at 2 mL.L-1had high total productivity from green pods and fresh seeds (5.711،3.389) ton.donam-1 respectively.
