“…Increasing Zn, Fe, and Cu would increase the number of cormels per corm. Singh et al [44] and Halder et al [45] in two experiments were agreed with results obtained. Floret color and shape measured in this study by direct observation and found no differences in floret color and shape between treatments for both experiment.…”

Two experiments, one in Open Field (OF) and the other inside a Greenhouse (GH), were conducted at Al-Jubeha Agricultural Research Station -The University of Jordan, to study the effect of Treated Wastewater (TWW) on soil chemical and physical properties. It was also intended to find the effect of TWW on spike quality of gladiolus. Five water treatments were used for both experiments, T1:100% Potable Water (PW); T2:100%TWW; T3:25%PW +75%TWW; T4:50%PW+50%TWW; and T5:75%PW+25%TWW. The design for both experiments was Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The results in both experiments showed high accumulation of salts in soils for all treatments with the highest accumulation values in soil T2. Soil organic matter (OM) and N were reduced after planting for all treatments in the GH treatments, but OM remained almost the same in the OF treatments. There was an increase in Zn, Pb, and Cu microelements in soils for all treatments. Soil physical properties such as aggregate stability was reduced for all treatments significantly after planting by about 40% for the GH treatments, and nonsignificantly by about 3-12% for the OF treatments. Soil water retention curve and pore size distribution did not significantly change after planting for the soil for all treatments in both experiments. Plant properties, from both experiments, were affected by TWW irrigation. Parameters such as: spike length, spike diameter, corm size, number of florets per spike, and the number of cormels per corm were found to be affected by water treatments.It gave the worst quality for plants that irrigated with 100% TWW for both experiments. Based on results obtained from both experiments, it was found that soils were affected negatively by TWW irrigation for their chemical and physical properties. Use of TWW when mixed with some PW for irrigation of non-edible plants such as cut flowers gave better results than using PW alone.

The experiment titled "Effect of biofertilizer (Trichoderma harzianum) and micronutrients zinc and boron on growth and yield of okra" was conducted in (ARI) Agriculture Research Institute North Mingora Swat, during 2017. Research work was performed in a Randomized Complete Block Design with split plot arrangement in three replications. Two factors were used in the experiment i.e. Trichoderma ( 0, 10, 20 kg ha -1 ) and micronutrients; zinc and boron (0, zinc 10 kg ha -1 , boron 5 kg ha -1 , zinc+boron). The analyzed data showed that Trichoderma significantly enhanced all the growth parameters. Minimum days to emergence (5.85), days to flowering (39.88), number of days to first picking (46.69), maximum plant height (131.60 cm), number of leaves plant -1 (35.82 ), pod length (15.96 cm), pod weight (24.33 g) and fresh pod yield (14.50 tons ha -1 ) were recorded in plots treated with 20 kg ha -1 trichoderma. Zinc and boron combination significantly affected the growth and yield of okra. Plants treated with zinc + boron resulted in minimum days to emergence (5.63), days to 50 % flowering (39.45), number of days to first picking (47.12) maximum plant height (131.25 cm), number of leaves plant -1 (35.71), pod length (15.63 cm), pod weight (24.98g) and pod yield (14.73 tons ha -1 ). It was found that Trichoderma is the best biofertilizer and should be used at the rate of 20 kg ha -1 , while micronutrients (Zinc 10 kg ha -1 and Boron 5 kg ha -1 ) should be utilized for good growth and yield of okra in swat climate.

“…chlorophyll production, pollen function, fertilization and germination [10]. Zinc act as a metal component of various enzymes or as a functional, structural or regulatory co-factor and also for protein synthesis, photosynthesis, the synthesis of auxin, cell division, the maintenance of membrane structure, and sexual fertilization [11,12]. Macro and micronutrients are necessary for the various biochemical processes which occur within the plant and are essential for plant normal growth and development.…”
