Effect of cultivar, Pro.Sol, Folicist and their interactions on some vegetative growth of olive transplants (Olea europea L.) cvs. Sorany and Picual (b)

Abstract

This study was carried out during the growing season (2014) in Bakrajo Nursery Station/ Sulaimani, Kurdistan Region-Iraq. Uniform and healthy olive (Olea europaea L.) cvs. Sorany and Picual transplants of (2) years old were used.To investigate the effect of three Folicist concentrations (0 , 60 and 120mg.L-1 ), three Pro.Sol concentrations (0 , 100 and 200mg.L-1) and their interactions on some vegetative growth of olive transplants. The results were summarized as follows: Foliar sprays of Folicist significantly dominated Pro.Sol in vegetative growth, except plant height and leaf area. Picual cv. significantly dominated cv. Sorany in all vegetative growth, except leaf number per shoot. The interactions between Pro.Sol, Folicist and cv. Picual affected significantly leaf area, Whereas, Pro.Sol, Folicist and cv. Sorany increased plant height and leaf number per shoot significantly.
