Effect of Algae Seaweed, Urtica Dioica And Zinc Sulfate on Some Yield Quality And Chemical Parameters of Broccoli (brassica Oleracea Var. Italica) Plant
Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: This study was carried out in an unheated plastic house of the vegetable research farm of Protected Cultivation Department in Zakho Technical Institute/Dohuk Polytechnic University on Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var.italica) plant on the period from 1 st September 2021 to 1 st April 2022, to study the effect of three levels of Algae Seaweed concentration (0, 4, and 8 ml L -1 ), three levels of Urtica dioica (0, 4 and 8 ml L -1 ) and three levels of Zinc Sulfate (0, 5, 10 g L -1 ).The results showed that increased Algae seaweed concentrations caused significantly increased head length, head diameter, total Chlorophyll, nitrogen% in leaves, phosphorus% in leaves, protein% and carbohydrates % in heads.In the same time the increased Urtica dioica concentrations caused significantly increased in most of studied parameter except total chlorophyll and carbohydrates % so as zinc sulfate which increased in most of studied parameter except carbohydrates %.The best interaction which observed among the three factors was (Algae Seaweed 8 mL -1 , Urtica dioica 8 mL -1 and zinc sulfate 10 gL -1) that gave the highest means for the most of the studied parameters compared with control.
