"A study was conducted in Al-Seba Reserve / Basra Governorate to study the effect of nitrogen and potassium fertilization on growth of stevia plants during 2018-2019 agricultural season, in pots. A sandy mixture of soil was used and two factors were studied: the first factor was urea fertilizer with five levels of nitrogen (N0 0, N1100, N2150, N3 200, and N4 250 kg / ha) and the second factor was potassium sulfate with three levels of potassium (K0 0, K1 75 and K3150 kg/h( . The experiment was experimental factor using a complete randomized design (C.R.D) with three replications. The results showed a significant effect of adding nitrogen and potassium fertilizers and there interaction on: plant height, number of branches, leaf area index, and the treatment N3K2 gave the highest yield reached (1.27 tons. h-1), and N4K2 recorded a highest content of Rebaudioside A (53.26 ppm). *Part of Ph.D. thesis of the first author Corresponding author: E-mail(khawla_74@yahoo.com) Al- Muthanna University All rights reserved"
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.
