Effect of Spraying Seaweed Extracts on Growth and Yield For Two Cultivars of Beans Vicia faba L.

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted through the season 2012-2013 to study The response of Broad bean Vicia faba L.(Aquadulce & primate) to foliar spraying of seaweed Algamix ,Algaren .The treatments was arranged RCBD with three replicate including two varieties seaweed extract spraying Algamix 3ml/l & Algaren4m/l and the control .The results showed the superiority of Aquadulce variety which gave highest height of plant reached 103.11cm ,highest weight of roots nodes reached 53.77 gm, highest tall of bean reached 13.84 cm and highest rate seed number reached 6.53 which primato gave highest rate of beans number. Plants reached to 30.27 highest rate of crop reached 14.72 T.h. highest one leaf area 123.07cm2 .seaweed While spraying gave highest one leaf area reached 134.97 cm2 while the Algaren extract gave highest weighted nodes 64.75 gm .The interaction between var.pri with Algamix and Algaren gave highest yield 16.19 -14.60respectively.
