Year: 2021
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The study was conducted at the Horticultural Establishments Unit of the Department of Horticulture and Landscape - College of Agriculture - Tikrit University. for period from 15/3/2020 to 15/1/2021, aim of knowing response of polyanthus bulbs to cold storage before planting and spraying with Chitosan. two factors: first was storage of bulbs before planting at a degree of 5 C° for a period of 0, 1, 2 a week, and the second factor was sprayed with chitosan at a concentration of 0, 500, 1000 mg. L−1 the experiment was designing with RCBD in three replications. The results showed that the two-week storage treatment exceeded the number of leaves, Leaves area, and leaf width gave 19.37 leaves. Plant−1, 703.84 cm2, 17.65 mm, respectively. The treatment of spraying with chitosan at a concentration of 1000 mg. L−1 was superior to inflorences length and the diameter of the roses, and it gave 88.71 cm, 34.70 mm. The highest concentration (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) was 1.99, 0.368, 2.21% for the interaction between storage for two weeks and spraying with chitosan at a concentration of 1000 mg. L−1.
