The response of Okra Abelmoshus esculentus L. to mycorrhizae and biological stimulators (biozyme and phosphalas) on yield and quantity indicators

Abstract

The research was carried out in the fields belongs to Horticulture Department / Agriculture Faculty Baghdad University / Al-Jadiriyah for the Spring season 2016 -2017 to study the effect of bio-fertilizer and spraying with Biological Stimulators and their interaction effect on yield and quantity characters of (local okra Petra). The experiment was lay out as a factorial experiment in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), the experiment included (12) treatment Distributed to three replicates. The three factors used in this experiment included. The inoculation with control (C), Mycorrhizae (M), Biozyme (B) (B1 2cm3.L-1), (B2 4cm1-.L-1), Phosphalas (P) (P 2cm3.L-1), (M+B1), (M+B2), (P+M), (P+B1), (P+B2), (M+P+B1), (M+P+B2).The readings were analyzed according to the design followed and the mean was tested by the lowest significant difference at 0.05%. The results showed a significant increase in the studied traits. The results showed that the three factors and their interactions had significant effects on most of the growth characters measured. The inoculation with the Mycorrhizae, Biozyme and Phosphalas was superior in giving higher values of yield per plant (2435) g.plant-1 (M1B1P1), total yield 9.34 ton. ha-1 (M1B2P1), carbohydrate in pods 33.61 % (M1B2P1), protein in pods 2.94 % (M1B1P0), fiber in pods % (M1B2P1) respectively.
