Effect of Irrigation with Magnetized Water on Some Vegetative and Flowering Parameters of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivar IP A 99

Abstract

Growth parameters data were used in this study for the evaluation of the response on some vegetative and flowering parameters of wheat shoots (Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivar IP A 99 of growth to irrigation with magnetized water and no magnetized water, afield experiment was carried out during Winter season of 2016-2017 at the farm of Technical Institute Kufa field, College of Science and University of Kufa. A randomized complete block design by split plots arrangement was used with three replications. The main plot included two levels of river water and ground brackish water while the subplot included four levels of magnetic water strength 0, 750, 1500 and 3000 GUOS. The results showed that significant effect of magnetized irrigation water on all growth characteristics of wheat in both levels of water caused greater increased on) height of shoot (cm), single leaf area (cm2), fresh weight of shoot (g), dry weight of shoot (g), number of tillers, number of leaf, height of spike (cm), weight of spike (g), number of florets per spike (as compared with no magnetized water. Irrigation with magnetic water in 1500 GUOS give as the better results in all growth characterized. The stimulatory impact of magnetic water induced no significant marked between irrigation of magnetized river water and ground brackish water. In another way irrigation with magnetic water showed greater increased on growth characteristics and spikes initiation of wheat as compared with irrigation of no magnetized river water and ground brackish water. The results showed that significant effect of magnetized irrigation water and irrigation with magnetic water in 1500 GUOS gave the better results in all growth characterized.
