THE EFFECT OF MAGNATIC SEEDSAND FOLIER FERTILIZATION OF Bo AND Ca ON GROWTH CHARACTARISTICS AND YIELD OF FENUGREEK PLANTS

Abstract

The experiment was conducted in the agriculture college experimental fields/university of Diyala. During the Autumn season 2010-2011in a loamy- sand soil different periods of magnetization on Fenugreek seeds(Trigonellafoenumgraecum L.)was used. The plants were treated by foliar spraying fertilization using two microelements Boron and calcium to study the influence of the treatment and their interaction on the characteristics of growth and the yield seeds of Fenugreek plants. The magnetization factor was expressed in four periods namely : M1 without magnetization,M2 20minutes,M3 40minutes,M4 60minutes. Three levels of spraying was applied: S1/ with out spraying S2/ Spraying by the 30 gm/liter S3/Spraying by 45gm/liter SPSS system was used to analyze the results. Results showed significant difference in growth pods- height/ cm- numbers of the plant pods -weight of the fresh pods kg/ha. The highest value in the seeds production was given by M3 treatment which reached 2761 kg /ha also highest value of foliar spraying fertilization which reached 2408 kg /ha. The interaction between M3and S3 gave highest value reached 3141 kg /ha of seed production which compared to the Other treatment
