THE EFFECT OF SOWING METHODS, FOLIAR APPLICATION WITH IRON AND ZINC ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF Vigna radiata L.

Abstract

Field experiment was carried out in Hesai villaje district, Anbar governorate during autumn season at 2012 in order to study the effect of planting methods and foliar application with Zn and Fe in some growth and yield at muny bean. The experiment was applied according to factorial arrangment in R C B D with three repli cations. The experiment included two planting methods (Line and Furrows) and four foliar application treatments (0, 150 Fe and 100 Zn and 150 Fe + 100 Zn mg l-1(. The results summarized as follow: The planting method at Furrows was significanthy superior in plant height, number at branches, number at pods , seed yield in comparison with line method. The foliar application with Zn and Fe (150 Fe + 100 Zn mg L-1) significanthy affected in plant height, number at branches, biological yield, Number of pods per plant, weight of 100 seed and seed yield which the control treatments gave the lowest average at forementioned traits. The two way interaction between the two factors at study did not show any significant effect in all traits under study
