THE EFFECT OF THE BIO-FERTILIZER SEEK ON SOME VEGETATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF SEEDLINGS OF TWO FIG CULTIVARS, FICUS CARICA L.

This experiment was conducted in the wooden canopy of the Department of Horticulture and Landscaping, College of Agriculture and Marshes, University of Dhi Qar, during the winter season 2020-2021 to study the effect of bio-fertilizer with four concentrations (0, 500, 1000, 1500) g.seedling(-1) and two cultivars of figs (Black Diyala, Waziri) and the interaction between them. The results showed the superiority of the cultivar Waziri in the traits (rate of increase in leaves number, rate of increase in stem diameter, average of shoots dry weight). It reached (7.63 leaves. seedling(-1), 5.275 mm. seedling(-1) and 13.66 g. seedling(-1)) sequentially, the concentration 1500 g. seedling(-1) exceeded the bio-fertilizer in the characteristics (rate of increase in total leaves number, rate of increase in the stem diameter, an average of leaf area, an average of fresh weight of shoot system, an average of the dry weight of shoot system (9.83 leaves. seedling(-1), 6.290 mm. seedling(-1), 540.0 cm(2), 40.70 g. seedling(-1), 16.61 g. seedling(-1))) sequentially compared to the control treatment. 1000 g of concentrate Seedling(-1) had a rate of rise in seedling height of 42.32 cm, which was higher than the average. Seedling(-1), the interaction treatment between Waziri cultivar with the concentration of 1500 g. Seedling(-1) of the bio-fertilizer was superior in all studied traits.
