The effect of differet levels of boron and zinc on Maize growth and its contents of nutrient elements


Abstract in English

Field experiment was conducted during the season (2011-2012)at Bhanine village in Tartous city. Maize seeds of Ghouta 82 variety were planted in plastic pots filled with calcareous soil .Treatments including three levels of B( 0 , 3 , and 6 kg.ha-1) as boric acid form and four levels of Zn (0 ,8,16 and 24 kg.ha-1) as zinc sulphate form added to the soil when it was preparation to farming , in a completely randomized block design with three replications, to study the effect of different levels of boron and zinc and their interactions on Maize growth and its contents of some nutrient elements . the readings that was taken plant length leaf area index ,wet and dry weight for plant in three growth stage: vegetative growth , start and end of flowering , stage , and evaluation concentration of N ,P , K ,B , Zn,Mn,Fe,Cu nutrients in the leaves at the back stages, in addition at havest stage.
