EFFECT OF GIBBERELLIC ACID, CULTAR, AND IRRIGATION PERIODS ON GERMINATION AND VEGETATIVE GROWTH OF FENUGREEK (TRIGONELLA FOREMUM - GRACEUM L.)

Two espericannata wore conadoutett to study effect of CA, Cutter, and irrigation periods on Celt gcrodtasation. and vegetative growth of tgonelle floverann graconen neat experiment wit? designed to measure the rate and speed of 'germination using. four concentrations of GA, (100,200-300,400mg/L.) and tour concentrations of Cutter (250,500,750,1000 mg/ILOira addition to control treatment The second experiment (eased was applied at the lath house- Seeds were planted to pats using Mem soli in as rectorial sessaterinat ot m comptadely randomixed design with tram replications.

The tranatMentS were applied two weeks attar germination. The ro restanta Meltied stem diameter. number of branches. leaf area, chlorophyll content, and Want Mr degrees mid, Stemaits show. that Cilia bad a positive significant effect no rata and speed of germination and all athfr growth cnaratteristics measured. Cutter had negative effect on rate and speed of germination and other criteria. except that of stem di meter which increased significantly. 2rrlgation periods had co effect In general, Inn every six dayS had slightly. different effects.

Therefore. sassing Ca, along with irrigation every six days is recomanded.
