“…Soil application is the ancient and normal fertilization practice; however it depends on many factors, from the soil type to the plant characteristics and physiological state and therefore cannot be generalized (Brataševec et al 2013). Foliar fertilization does not completely replace soil fertilization (Kannan 2010). The application of foliar fertilization is increasing in order to reduce micro-and macronutrient deficiency (Kaya and Higgs 2002).…”

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera) is a productive drought stress-adapted plant and one of the most economically important fruit crops (Zörb et al. 2014). Production of quality grapes suitable for winemaking depends on numerous factors (Gerendás and Führs 2013). Moretti (2002) stated that among intrinsic (degree of wood maturation, content of nutritive and nitrogenous compounds) and external factors (temperature, rain distribution, soil parameters) the quality of wine produced is also modulated by fertilization to a central degree.Magnesium (Mg) is an important macronutrient with a number of physiological functions in the plant. The importance of magnesium in the plant Using foliar applications of magnesium and potassium to improve yields and some qualitative parameters of vine grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) T ABSTRACTIn a three-year field experiment (2011)(2012)(2013) we assessed the effect of magnesium (MgSO 4 ) and potassium (K 2 SO 4 ) applied as foliar applications both separately (3.86 kg Mg/ha or 12.44 kg K/ha) and in combination (1.93 kg Mg/ha + 6.22 kg K/ha) on yields of grapes of cv. Zweigelt and some qualitative parameters of the grapes. The applications were repeated 4 times in stages BBCH 15-19; 55; 75 and 83. The experiment was carried out on soil well supplied with Mg and K in the subsoil layer. In terms of average 3-year results the grape yields were by 11.2% (MgSO 4 ), 13.9% (K 2 SO 4 ) and 6.6% (MgSO 4 + K 2 SO 4 ) significantly higher than the untreated control. The sugar content of grapes (sum of glucose and fructose) was lower (mostly insignificantly) by 0.5-4.3% in all the fertilized treatments than in the untreated control. Fertilization had no significant impact on the pH of must (juice) and ranged between 3.02 and 3.25. The content of titratable acids in the must ranged insignificantly between 8.73 and 10.86 g/L, and average values were the highest in the untreated control. On the basis of these results it is evident that separate applications of Mg and K have a positive effect, in particular in that they stimulate grape yields, and at the same time the effect of the year is significant. Keywords 451Plant Soil Environ. Vol. 61, 2015, No. 10: 451-457 doi: 10.17221/437/2015-PSE is in many ways connected with photosynthesis. It is the central atom of chlorophyll and it activates enzymatic processes. Magnesium also favourably influences assimilation (Mengel and Kirkby 2001). Magnesium deficiency reduces the content of chlorophyll in the leaves and changes the chlorophyll a:b ratio in favour of chlorophyll b. Visually it is seen as chlorosis of leaves, especially older ones and causes premature abscission. Chlorosis is caused either by Mg deficiency, high content of soil Ca (calcareous soils) or a combination of these factors (Marschner 2002, Ksouri et al. 2005, Gluhić et al. 2009). Magnesium uptake by the plant is also affected by the antagonistic effect of Ca and K and as was confirmed by Garcia et al. (1999) who discovered a marked reduction of Mg in grape berries on soils with high supply of Ca...

“…Spray solution of 500 mL was applied to each plant with fine mist sprayer whereas water spray set was sprayed with only water. The pH values of spray solution was in range of 3.0 -5.5 which are optimal ranges for the maximum uptake of mineral nutrients as reported by [29].The plants were sprayed constantly till the leaves were entirely showery and the solution ran off the leaves. Control (0.0% sea salt irrigation water) treatment plants were irrigated with 3L of tap water and plants under saline treatments were irrigated with same volume of water with their respective sea salt concentrations ensuring proper leaching.…”

Abstract:The effect of salinity was observed on the activity of nitrate reductase and hill reaction activity in the leaves of Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cv. "CIM 496" grown in large size plastic pot culture, irrigated with sea salt concentrations of 0.0%(EC iw: 0.6 dS/m), 0.4%(EC iw: 6.2 dS/m) and 0.8%(EC iw: 10.8 dS/m) and subjected to foliar application with nonspray (control), water spray, KNO 3 (500 ppm), KCl (500 ppm), Urea(1000 ppm), Fe-EDTA (5ppm), MnCl 2 (5ppm) and MoO 3 (5ppm) alone and their mixture. Foliar spray of the mixture showed better result as compared to that of above mentioned individual mineral. Conclusion made on the comparative performance of nitrate reductase and hill reaction enzymes under above number of treatments in the leaves of cotton growing under various sea salt concentrations is given below: Nitrate Reductase Activity (NRA): Nonspray< water spray< KCl< Mo< KNO 3 < Urea< KNO 3 + Mo< KNO 3 +Fe + Mn + Mo; Hill Reaction Activity (HRA): Nonspray< water spray< KNO3

“…Thua Thien Hue has typical climatic conditions of the central region, so it greatly affects on the growth and products of flowers, specially the color of flowers is always brighter than those planted in different Schroeder [9], Fageria et al [10] and Kannan [11] showed great potential of foliar fertilizer as a mean to reduce soil and groundwater contamination. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of foliar fertilizers under local conditions for growth, development, colors and lifetime of Petunia hybrida.…”

Abstract:The experiment was conducted in winter-spring 2015-2016 in Thua Thien Hue to identify different foliar fertilizer for Petunia hybrida having good growth and development, beautiful colors and long lifetime under local conditions. The experiment included four treatments with three kinds of forliar fertilizers-Dau Trau MK 30-10-5, gibberellin 25-10-10 and abscisic acid. The control treatment (T 0 ) used sterilized water without foliar fertilizer. The results showed that all the foliar fertilizers influenced well on growth and development of Petunia hybrida. Dau Trau MK 30-10-5 helped Petunia hybrida have high quality and high value/cost ratio than the others.
