Effect urea and superphosphate fertilizers and its there interaction in some growth characteristics of fenugreek plant (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.)

Abstract

An experiment was carried out by using pots (5kg soil/pot capacity ) in the green house of Biology Dept. College of Education (Ibn Al-Haitham) University of Baghdad during 2008-2009 growing season, in order to determine the effect of different levels of urea fertilizer (zero,0.25,0.50,1.00 gm/5kg soil in pot) these levels equal (zero,100,200,400 kg urea/h) and super phosphate levels (0,0.25,0.50 gm/5kg soil in pot), these levels equal (zero, 100, 200, kg/ha) in some growth characteristics of fenugreek plant. On This Acomplete Randomized Design (C.R.D) was dappled with 3 replications. Results indicated of clear increase in all the studied characteristics (length of plant, total chlorophyll content, No. of branches and No. of flowers at levels 400 kg urea/ha and 200 kg super phosphate/ha and its interaction as compard with other levels of urea and super phosphate.
