This research aims at studying the effect of irrigation with different levels of NaCl on
the growth and development of Syrian pears (Pyrus syriaca). The results showed that:
1. Salt stress reduced chlorophyll content (a,b and a+b) in salt treatment
s compared to
the control , which contained 67.48 mg/g (a), 111.62 mg/g (b) and 204.76 mg/g (a+b),
while 1750 ppm of NaCl treatment contained 49.34 mg/g (a), 49.86 mg/g (b) and 158.77
mg/g (a+b) respectively. Treatment with 500 ppm of NaCl increased significantly
chlorophyll content compared to other salt treatments.
2. Leaves content of proline increased with increasing NaCl levels. It reached 870.8
ng/g when irrigation water contained 1250 ppm of NaCl, while it decreased in other salt
treatments. Leaves dry matter increased with the increase salt levels (24.50% for the
control, and 44.86% for 1750 ppm of NaCl).
During the season of 2002, samples of olive fruit were taken (Ashrasi type)
from Ninavah horticulture’s station that belongs to the ministry of agriculture
in Iraq. The purpose of this research is to study some physical and chemical
characteristic
s during the growing period, from July until October. Those
characteristics include moisture, ash, oil content, chlorophyll A & B, protein,
pH and carbohydrate, In addition to fruit length, size, weight, radius, and
rigidity. The results showed significant increase in moisture, oil, weight, size
and length of the fruit were studied. Significant reduction was noticed in the
percentages of the protein, carbohydrate, ash and the fruit rigidity. The highest
values of chlorophyll were observed during The month of September. October
considered as the best time to harvest olive fruits for pickle purpose.
تعتمد الغلة القصوى لمحصول الشعير من الحبوب على عوامل كثيرة، يأتي في مقدمتها، فعالية
التمثيل الضوئي الكلي للورقة العلم لأنها المسؤولة عن إنتاجية المادة الجافة خلال مراحل النمو و نضج
الحبة.
بينت لنا الدراسة أن معدل التمثيل الضوئي الكلي للورقة العلم
و هو العامل المحدد لإنتاجية
السنبلة الرئيسية من الحبوب - يتوقف على محتوى الورقة العلم من كلوروفيل (a), و معدل وزنها الطري
و مساحتها، و عمرها الوظيفي.
