The experiment was conducted at the research station of the Department of Horticulture and Landscape - College of Agriculture - Tikrit University for the 2019-2020 season, to study the effect of spraying organic fertilizer (seaweed extract) and growth regulator (cytokinin) on the growth and yield of the cauliflower plant. The experiment included two factors: spraying seaweed extract in three levels, (S0) 0 ml l-1 as a control, (S1) 3.3 ml l-1, (S2) 6.6 ml l-1. The second factor was spraying cytokinin in three levels: (G0) 0 mg l-1 as a control, (G1) 10 mg l-1, (G2) 40 mg l-1. The experiment was carried out according to the Randomized Complete Block Design R.C.B.D with three replications and the averages were compared according to Duncan's multiple range tests at a probability level of 5%.The results showed that spraying seaweed extract (S2) increased the percentage of phosphorus, potassium and boron significantly compared with all other treatments. Meanwhile, the application of cytokinin did not affect significantly on all the studied characteristics. The interaction traetments caused significant effect in fresh weight of leaf, phosphorus%, and potassium% with S0G0, S2G2, and S2G0 respectively compared with S2G0, S0G0, and S0G2 treatments which had the lowest values for previous characteristics respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
