Effect of Salicylic Acid and Arginine Spraying on Growth and Some of Its Active Compounds of Basil Ocimum Basilicum L

Abstract

The study was conducted in the fields of a farmer in Baghdad Province/Abu Ghraib district during the 2019-2020 agricultural season to study the effect of two factors. The first factor was spraying salicylic acid on the plant with four concentrations (0,100,200,300) mg. L -1. The second factor was spraying amino acid Arginine on the plant with four concentrations (0,100,200,300) mg. L -1. Each level was sprayed before sunset until the plant leaves become completely wet. The spraying was done twice during the growing season. Results showed that the treatments of foliar spray with Salicylic Acid, the treatment with Arginine spray, and the interaction treatments were superior in terms of improving plant height, leaf area, and ratios of volatile oils ratio, phenols, nitrogen, and proteins.

EXOGENOUS APPLICATION OF ARGININE ALLEVIATES THE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF NaCl-SALT STRESS ON CALENDULA OFFICINALIS L. PLANTS

“…Foliar spray arginine was found to play a necessary role in NaCl stress tolerance in pot marigold plants. Similar results have been noticed by Shraida and Almohammedi (2021), Yaghoobi Kiaseh et al (2021), andRaoof Haghparvar et al (2022).…”

Effect of Soil Mulching and Spraying with Naphthalene Acetic Acid on Growth and Yield of Broccoli

“…Soil mulching also has an effect on raising the soil temperature, gives an opportunity for growth, division and elongation of cells, and in turn, it reflects positively on improving the characteristics of vegetative growth, and thus its effect on increasing the yield characteristics, and this is mentioned by [14]when studying the effect of soil mulching on broccoli plant, the results achieved from improving the characteristics of vegetative growth as shown in Tables (2and4) are consistent with the results of many researchers who reached a significant increase in the characteristics of vegetative growth and thus improving the characteristics of yield and for different plants, including [15,16]. The results of Tables 1 and 3 showed that the use of naphthalene at different concentrations resulted in a significant increase in many vegetative characteristics, especially the concentration of 100 mg, which gave the best indicators of vegetative growth through plant height and leaf length, and this is reflected in yield characteristics as in tables (3, 5, 6, and7), which showed the best values, this is consistent with what was stated by [17,18,19].…”

Effect of Spraying with Growth Regulators Brassinolide and Thidiazuron on the Chemical Content of Leaves and Pods of Three Okra Hybrids Under Protected Cultivation Conditions

“…Effect of spraying with growth regulators brassinolide and thidiazuron on three hybrids of okra and the interaction between them on the percentage total soluble solids. The results of the table (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) indicate that there is a significant increase in the studied characteristics (the Percentage of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium in the leaves, the Percentage of Nitrogen and Protein in the pods, Total Carbohydrates in the leaves and the Percentage of Total Soluble Solids (TSS) when spraying regulators Growth Brassinolide and Thidiazuron Perhaps the reason is due to the role of TDZ in increasing the content of leaves of Nutrients and Carbohydrates and their accumulation in the leaves and their transfer to the pods, which leads to an increase in the content of the pods of Nitrogen and Protein through the Catalytic role of Cytokinins in the movement and transfer of nutrients and it is believed that Cytokinins stimulate the formation of woody tissues and this Helps facilitate the transfer of nutrients [11,15]. TDZ has led to an increase in the content of nutrients and carbohydrates in the leaves, and this is due to the role of Cytokinins in stimulating the growth of leaf principles as well as increasing the growth rate as it works to (sink) the nutrients to the treatment area and increases the growth efficiency, in addition to its role in attracting and accumulating elements nutrients from all parts of the plant to its active sites [12,14].…”
