Foliar Application of Liquid Organic Nitrogen and Iron Chelate Response of Almond (Prunus Amigdalus L.) Seedling Growth

Abstract

The research included study of the effect of foliar spray of three concentrations (0, 30 and 60mg.l-1) of chelated Iron (Fe – EDDHA) containing (6% iron) applied one time on April 25 andthree concentrations (0, 2 and 4 ml.L-1 ) of liquid organic nitrogen applied three time on April22, May 7 and May 22, 2019 on the root and some vegetative growth and some vegetativecharacteristics of Almond (Prunus amygdalus) seedlings grown in black poly ethylene bagsfilled with loamy soil. A complete randomized block design (R.C.B.D) with three replicateseach consisted of 5 seedlings was used to carry out this research. Thus, the number of seedlingsin this study was 135 seedlings. Data collected at the end of September 2019 indicated that thespraying of chelated iron and organic liquid nitrogen fertilizer gave a significant increase in thenumber of leaves, stem diameter, shoot length, fresh and dry weight of leaves, leaf area, rootlength, Root fresh and root weight when compared with the control
