Effect Of Number Of Sprays For Levels Of Organic Fertilizer Seamino In The Gardenia Plant Gardenia Jasminoides Ellis

Abstract

The experiment was conducted inside the wooden canopy in one of the private nurseries in Kirkuk governorate in the year 2024 to know the effect of the number of sprays with organic fertiliser Seamino and the interference between the two on gardenia plant. The experiment was conducted by randomized complete block design (R.C.B.D.) with three replications. The results showed that the two sprays treatment with Seamino nutrient solution was significantly superior to one spray in all studied traits as the two sprays treatment gave the highest average plant height 56.88))) cm and number of branches/plant (8.12) (122.79) leaves, leaf area (25.31) cm2 and dry weight of the total plant (45.79) g. The concentration of 6 ml/litre of fertiliser was significantly superior to the other concentrations in all the traits under study: plant height (67.22) cm, number of branches/plant (8.12) and number of leaves/plant (12.79). cm and number of branches/plant (10.12) (161.62) leaves, leaf area (33.65) cm2 and dry weight of the total vegetative plant (53.99) g. The interference of the two sprays with 6 ml/litre of compost achieved the highest rate of plant height (181.79) cm and number of branches/plant (10.12)). 79 cm, number of branches/plant (11.45), number of leaves/plant (181.79), leaf area (37.36) cm2 and dry weight of the total plant (57.4) g compared to the control treatment.
