Abstract This study was conducted inside the plastic house of the Agricultural Research and Experiment Station of the Agriculture College - University of Kirkuk/Iraq, during the growing season 2020/2021. To study the effect of spraying the growth regulator of benzyl adenine in three concentrations (0, 30, 60) mg.L−1 and licorice root extract in three concentrations (0, 3000, 6000) mg.L−1 on some growth characteristics and chemical content of strawberry plants of Rubygem type. The obtained results were summarized that spraying with a concentration of 60 mg.L−1 of the growth regulator benzyl adenine BA led to a significant superiority in most growth characteristics and chemical content of strawberry plants (leaf area, leaves number, leaves area, dry matter in plant, leaf content of chlorophyll and nitrogen total) where reached (95.81 cm2, 15.78 leaf. plant−1, 1513.93 cm2, 38.68 %, 28.66 %, 3.24 %) respectively. While spraying with concentrations (30 and 60 mg.L−1)of benzyl adenine was significantly superior to the control treatment in the phosphorous and carbohydrates content of leaves. Spraying with a concentration of 6000 mg.L−1 of licorice extract significantly increased in most of the study traits (dry matter in plant, leaf content of chlorophyll, nitrogen, phosphorous and carbohydrates total) where reached (39.06 %, 25.69 mg.g−1, 3.09 %, 0.334 %, 3.38 %) respectively. Spraying with a concentration of 3000 mg.L−1 of licorice was significantly superior in the characteristics of leaf area and Leaves area, which reached (85.08, 1303.18) cm2 respectively.

The objective of this research was to determine growth and dry matter partitioning among organs of strawberry stock plants under five Nitrogen concentrations in the nutrient solution and its effects on emission and growth of runner tips. The experiment was carried out under greenhouse conditions, from September 2010 to March 2011, in a soilless system with Oso Grande and Camino Real cultivars. Nitrogen concentrations of 5.12, 7.6, 10.12 (control), 12.62 and 15.12 mmol L-1 in the nutrient solution were studied in a 5x2 factorial randomised experimental design. All runner tips bearing at least one expanded leaf (patent requested) were collected weekly and counted during the growth period. The number of leaves, dry matter (DM) of leaves, crown and root, specific leaf area and leaf area index (LAI) was determined at the final harvest. Increasing N concentration in the nutrient solution from 5.12 to 15.12 mmol L-1 reduces growth of crown, roots and LAI of strawberry stock plants but did not affect emission and growth of runner tips. It was concluded that for the commercial production of plug plants the optimal nitrogen concentration in the nutrient solution should be 5.12 mmol L-1.

The knowledge about growth and nutrient accumulation can help improve fertilizer efficiency in the production of jabuticaba seedlings, which is still carried out in an empirical way. This study aimed at determining the growth and macronutrient uptake in ‘Sabará’ jabuticaba genotypes grown in nutrient solution. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design in split plots, with four replications. In the main plots three jabuticaba genotypes (J001, J005 and J012) were cultivated in nutrient solution and six evaluation periods (at 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 and 360 days) in the sub-plots were evaluated. Plant height, root length, stem diameter, leaf area index and dry matter (root, stem and leaves) in each period were evaluated. The accumulation of macronutrients in different plant organs was determined, as well as the accumulation of nutrients as a function of time adjusted to the linear model. The results showed that the cultivation in nutrient solution was efficient in the production of Sabará jabuticabeira seedlings. There was no difference in macronutrient growth and absorption among jabuticaba genotypes grown in nutrient solution. ‘Sabará’ jabuticaba plants accumulated (in mg plant-1) 559 of N, 45 of P, 443 of K, 363 of Ca, 59 of Mg and 82 of S. The distribution of macronutrient accumulations in jabuticaba showed the following order: leaves > stem > roots.

The influence of potassium on the development of Mentha piperita L. was evaluated in the plants grown in nutritive solution modified by variations in potassium, at 6.0, 3.0, and 1.5 mmol L-1, establishing differences between treatments and corresponding, respectively, to the concentration proposed in Hoagland and Arnon's no. 2 solution and reductions by 50% and 75%. Until 21 days after transplanting, the concentration used was diluted to 50% in the three treatments. Evaluations consisted of leaf area, development of the above-ground part, and dry matter of different plant organs. Plants grown with 1.5/3.0 mmol L-1 K showed greater development of the above-ground part. Other variables were not different among plants in the different treatments.

Growth and yield responses of `New Mexico 6-4' and `NuMex R Naky' chile pepper [Capsicum annuum L. var. annuum (Longum Group)] to four Fe levels were studied under sand culture. A balanced nutrient solution (total nutrient concentration <2 mmol·L-1) was recirculated continuously to plants potted in acid-washed sand from the seedling stage to red fruit harvest. Plants received 1, 3, 10 or 30 μm Fe as ferric ethylenediamine di-(o-hydroxyphenyl-acetate). Plant growth was determined by leaf area, specific leaf area [(SLA), leaf area per unit dry weight of leaves], instantaneous leaf photosynthetic rates, and dry matter partitioning. Low Fe (1 or 3 μm Fe) in the nutrient solution was associated with lower relative growth rates (RGR), increased SLA, and higher root to shoot ratios (3 μm Fe plants only) at final harvest. High Fe levels (10 or 30 μm Fe) in the nutrient solution were associated with an increased yield of red fruit and total plant dry matter. RGR of low-Fe young chile plants was reduced before any chlorotic symptoms appeared.

Morphological variables such as phytomass, plant height, leaf area, number of leaves, have been used to express the influence of mineral nutrients on plant growth patterns, since the vegetative development responds, in general, favorably to fertilizer applications. This work evaluates the effect of P on both, some morphological characteristics and total [P] in the shoot of eight grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) genotypes. Genetic materials were grown in nutrient solution under three concentrations of P (0; 0.5 and 1.0 mmol L-1). Plants were harvested 41 days after sowing, and leaf area per plant (LA), number of leaves (NL) per plant, root volume (RV), plant height (PH), root dry matter (RDM), shoot dry matter (SDM), total dry matter (TDM), RDM/SDM ratio, and total P concentration in shoot were determined. RDM/SDM was high for treatment P(0) and diminished about twice when P was added. Lack of applied P decreased the final NL and LA. Shoot [P] was positively correlated with solution [P], but the increase in P concentration in the nutrient solution from 0.5 to 1.0 mmol L-1 had a negative effect on growth. Both under deficiency and sufficiency conditions of P, Himeca-101 showed the best behavior in terms of RDM, SDM, TDM, RV, LA and NL. LA and PH were identified as the best indicators to predict dry matter yield of sorghum plants under P supply conditions.

Washington Navel

The development of rooted cuttings of the Washington Navel orange through two cycles of growth is described, and the effects of phosphorus nutrition and the relative value of nitrate and ammonium as sources of nitrogen are assessed. Alternation of shoot and root development over the period of the experiment was observed. There appeared to be no build up of dry matter reserves in the plant tops before new shoot initiation, but rather a rhythmic distribution between root and shoot of the dry matter assimilated. The initiation of new shoots was followed by a rapid increase in leaf area, by an increase in dry matter per unit leaf area, by a rapid increase in whole plant dry weight, and by higher growth rates. In this latter respect, the behaviour of this woody perennial contrasts with the normal growth pattern of annuals, where the growth indices tend to fall with time. Phosphorus shortage delayed plant development, so leading to lower dry weight values in all plant parts. No differences in growth due to nitrate or ammonium as sources of nitrogen could be detected.

Purpose. Determine the efficiency of photosynthesis of soybean varieties ‘Ustia’, ‘Kordoba’, ‘Estafeta’ as affected by the use of microfertilizers and growth regulators. Methods. Field, laboratory. Results. The article presents the results of research to study the effectiveness of photosynthesis in the cultivation of different varieties of soybean. It was found that the treatment of plants with microfertilizer Yara Vita Mono Molitrak in the budding phase (0.25 l/ha) + in the flowering phase (0.25 l/ha) in combination with the growth regulator Radostym ensured a leaf area (1000 m2/ha) increase of 7.2 m2/ha in variety ‘Ustia’, 7.6 in ‘Kordoba’ and 5.2 in ‘Estafeta’, compared to control. At the same time, the efficiency of using the growth regulator Biosil against the background of double treatment with the microfertilizer was at the level of the treatments with single treatments with Yara Vita Mono Molitrak in the budding phase (0.25 l/ha) in combination with appropriate growth regulators. Conclusions. It was investigated that the leaf surface area of ‘Ustia’ variety with foliar fertilization using Yara Vita Mono Molitrak microfertilizer in the budding phase (0.25 l/ha) in combination with growth regulators Biosil and Radostym was 38.8 and 39.2 thousand m2/ha. The use of microfertilizers twice in combination with the above-mentioned growth regulators contributed to the increase of leaf area to the level of 38.9 and 39.5 thousand m2/ha, respectively. Similarly, in ‘Kordoba’ soybean variety, the best option was the use of Yara Vita Mono Molitrak in the budding phase (0.25 l/ha) + in the flowering phase (0.25 l/ha) in combination with the growth regulator Radostym, which helped to increase the leaf area to 39.5 thousand m2/ha. Foliar fertilization with microfertilizers combined with the use of growth regulators provides the formation of maximum NPP. Thus, in ‘Ustia’ variety, it was 1.47 and 1.45 g/m2, in ‘Estafeta’ 1.82 and 1.82 g/m2 of dry matter per day.

SUMMARYThe influence of rest interval and grazing duration on herbage production of dryland lucerne (Medicago sativa L., cv. Hunter River) pastures was studied in a 6-year experiment on a black earth in subtropical southern Queensland. Rest intervals (R) of from 32 to 60 days were combined with grazing durations (G) of 4, 8 or 16 days, or with mowing (M), in the following treatments: (1) R32-4, (2) R32-G16, (3) R44-G4, (4) R44-G16, (5) R56-4, (6) R40-G8, (7) R36-M, (8) R48-M and (9) R60-M. Grazing was with sheep at a rate equivalent to 20/ha on a year-round basis. Amounts of dry matter of lucerne and of volunteer species on offer were measured prior to grazing or mowing, and some measurements of the residue remaining after grazing were made. Chemical composition of representative lucerne samples was also determined.Mean total amount of lucerne on offer declined from 10·8 to 7·2 t/ha/year between the first 2 years and the last 2 years, whereas total amount of volunteer species, principally grasses, increased from 3·0 to 18·2 t/ha/year over the same period. This difference was partly due to lower utilization of volunteer species. The decrease in amount of lucerne was due to loss of plants, and treatment effects arose through differences in the degree to which amounts from individual surviving plants increased to compensate for stand thinning. Concentrations of mineral elements in lucerne were always above critical levels for plant and animal growth.Treatment R40-G8 maintained the largest amounts of lucerne on offer to the end of the experiment, with treatments R32-G4 and R32-G16 then having least. Large amounts of grass were associated with 4-day grazing, and to a lesser extent with short rest periods. The results confirm the need for a minimum rest period between grazings in a subtropical environment and also show the need for grazing to control excessive grass growth as well as lucerne if lucerne productivity is to be ensured. Some requirements which would lead to more successful management of lucerne in the subtropics are discussed.
