- Abstract
A field experiment was carried out during the 2020 - 2021 agricultural season in the Sub district, east of Samawa city, on the eggplant (Sulanum melongena L.) to study the effect of the process of pinching the growing top of the plant, which was given the symbols P1 and P0, respectively. The magnesium element was sprayed at four concentrations (0, 0.50, 1.00 and 1.50 g.L-1) and the symbols (Mg0, Mg1, Mg2 and Mg3) were taken respectively. A factorial experiment was applied according to a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. It was clear from the results that the process of pinching the growing top (P1) led to a significant increase in the studied traits (number of branches, leaf area, stem diameter, number of fruits and yield of a single plant) in comparison with the control treatment. Increasing the concentration of the magnesium element in the spray solution (1.50 g.L-1) when treated with Mg3 led to an increase in the studied traits in the above, compared to the Mg0 no-spray treatment. The bilateral interaction between the treatment of the process of earring then growing apex and spraying of magnesium had a significant effect on all studied traits when the treatment P1Mg3.
