Response of olive ( Olea europaea L. ) transplants to foliar application of GreenPlant organic and NPK fertilizer

Abstract

This experiment was conducted in the lath house at the Faculty of Agriculture / University of Kufa during the spring season, 2015 to study the effect of spraying for three times with 3 levels of GreenPlant (0, 2, 4 ml.L_1) and NPK at 3 Concentration (0, 50, 100 mg.L_1) and their interaction on some vegetative growth traits of olive( Cv. Sorani ) transplants. The experiment was carried out using RCBD design with three replicates. The results showed that there were significant effects of foliar application of both fertilizers. The interaction of organic fertilizer 2ml.L_1 of GreenPlant with spraying of 50 mg.L_1 of NPK gave the highest averages of plant height, branch/plant, leaves number, and leaf area, while the lowest average of these characteristics were in the control treatment
