- Abstract
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of adding Wheat Organic Residues (WOR) to the soil of the pot and spraying Salicylic acid (SA) on growth parameters of freesia plants and production of its corms. The experiment was adopted as two factors. The first include three levels of organic i.e., 0, 5 and 10% while second include three concentration of Salicylic acid i.e., 0, 50 and 150 mg L-1. The results showed that adding 10% of WOR or spraying SA significantly increased the No. of total leaves, shoot dry weight, total chlorophyll content in the leaf, total soluble carbohydrate in the leaf, No. of corms per plant, diameter of corms, No. of the inflorescence per plant, length of inflorescence stem and No. of florets per inflorescence, compared to the control treatment which gave the lowest vales. Also, the results of the interaction between two factors showed that adding WOR at level 10% and spraying SA significantly increased all the growth parameters of fressia plants.
