Effect of Foliar Spraying with (Micro Nate) and Fol Spray Fertilizer on the Traits of Vegetative Growth for Apple Seedlings (Anna Cultivar)

Abstract This experiment was conducted during the agricultural season(2018-2019) in one of the nurseries in Al-Qasim district of Babylon province, To study the effect of spraying with nutrient solution MICRO NATE and spraying with fol spray fertilizer on some vegetative growth traits of apple seedlings (Malus domestica)Anna. The experiment included testing three concentrations of MICRO NATE (0.04, 8 g. L-1)and three concentrations of fol spray Fertilizer (0.03 and 6 g. L-1).a factorial experiment was conducted according to the Completely randomized design with three replications averages were compared using the least difference test (L.S.D) below the 5% probability level, according to the program Genestat 2010,The results concluded with the following: Spraying plants with MICRO NATE fertilizer at a concentration of (8 g.L-1) separately and spraying with fol spray fertilizer at a concentration of (6 g.L-1) separately, led to the significant increase in all studied traits compared to the lowest values resulting from plants treated with distilled water (control treatment).Results of the interaction between spraying plants with MICRO NATE fertilizer at a concentration of (8 g.L-1) With spraying with fol spray fertilizer at a concentration of (6 g.L-1) showed the significant increase in plant height, total number of leaves and increase in leaf content of total chlorophyll.
