EFFECT OF SPRAYING ORGANIC EXTRACTS ON PROPAGATION OF STRAWBERRY PLANTS CV. ALBOIN .

Abstract

This study was carried out in a plastic house of a Palm Date Research Unit-Agricultural College-University of Baghdad, during season 2013-2014, to study the effect of foliar organic material extract and Humic acid and their interaction to the strawberry vegetative growth. The study include 12 treatments, to spray strawberry's plant with three levels from the extractions of organic matter (one volume of extracted organic matter to one volume of Distilled water 1:1 , one volume of extracted organic matter to two volume of Distilled water 1:2 and one volume of extracted organic matter to three volume of Distilled water 1:3) on disilled watere with out or with applied of two concentrations of Humifert-ultra (0,2.5,5)ml.l-1 to the soil . A factorial experiment carried out at randomized completed blocked design (RCBD) with three replicates, Averages were tested with LSD at 5% level of probability. The results were revealed the plants were significantly increased in crown, s number, runner ,s number and leaf area per plant at (1:1) level's. While the treatment (3:1) give highest number of new plants per runner. (2:1) record the chlorophyll content of the leaves. The additions of Humic acid were increased in crowns number's and leaf area per plant and chlorophyll content of the leaves, significantly reaches sequentially at 5ml.l-1 level. The interaction of two van able were significant for all the studies traits.
