Effect of Mycorrhiza, Alga Al-Zuhoor and Foliar Spraying with Bio-Fertilizer on Eriobotrya aponica Seedling
Abstract
The study was conducted in Alsiyahii region of Babylon province to study the effect of Mycorrhiza, seaweed extract (ALGA AL-Zuhoor) and foliar spray with biofertilizer EM1 on vegetative traits and nutrients content in leaf. The experiment included soil application of Mycorrhiza and ALGA (5 ml L-1) and EM1 at 5 and 10 ml L-1. The Mycorrhizae application significantly increased the number of leaves, the leaf area dry matter and chlorophyll and nitrogen content of leaf. The Mycorrhiza and EM1 10 ml L-1 also indicated the same trend. The interaction between the Mycorrhiza, ALGA and foliar spray with EM1 10 ml L-1 caused significant effect in improving all studied traits compared to the control.
