The Effect of Errigation Water Source and Nutrient Solution of Polixal on the Growth of Olive Seedlings cv. Khestawe

Abstract

The experiment was carried out in Al-Musayab Technical Collage – Babylon governet for the years 2010/2011 on the olive seedling of Khestawe cultivar in order to study the effect of irrigation water source (river water ، ، ground waterA,B and drainage waterA and B ), and effect of foliar fertilization by Polixal with the concentrations (0 , 4 and 8 cm3L-1) and effect of interaction in the shoot and root properties and in addition to the leaf contents of the mineral elements.factorial experiment in complete randomized block design with three replicates in 15 treatments was carried out. Mean differences tests according to least significant different (LSD) on 0.05 probability level was used.results of this study was as follows:Significant domination of irrigated olive seedling with river water and treatment with ground water in all other water sources, in most vegetative and roots growth under study،also this treatment dominate in the contents of Nitrogen, calcium and magnesium, and decreases the leaf content of sodium, chloride and proline compare with Drainage irrigation treatment (9.11 ds.m-1) which reduced all growth parameters and contents of leaves from the mineral element, but it was increase the rate of sodium, chloreide and proline. Spraying with polixal (8cm3 L-1) caused Significantly domination in all studied characteristic. also decreases contents of leaves from sodium, chloreide and proline.The interaction of the irrigation with river water or grounds water with spraying by 8 cm3 L-1 polixal significantly in all characteristic including the mineral content of the leaves and decrease the proline and contents of leaf from non - essential the (sodium and chloride)
