- Abstract
Two field experiments were conducted in the spring and fall seasons of 2018 in the Sofiya area - Al-Ramadi district - Anbar province to study the effect of foliar application with four concentrations of thiamine (0, 150, 300, 450 mg.L-1) and four concentrations of boron (0, 25, 50, 75 mg.L-1) on growth, yield and quality characters of the mung bean crop (Vigna radiata L). The layout of the experiment was factorial experiments pattern using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates. The results showed that the concentration of 450 mg.L-1 of thiamin (Vit. B1) gave the highest values of leaf area reached (713.9 and 726.5 cm2), the number of pods per plant reached (44.07 and 45.92 pod.plant-1), seed yield (1069.0 and 1086.7 kg.ha-1) and protein percentage (26.33 and 25.87%) in both seasons respectively, the same concentration also gave lowest number of days from planting to 50% flowering, while the concentration of 300 mg.L-1 gave the highest concentration of boron in leaves. The concentration of 75 mg.L-1 of boron gave the highest mean of leaf area reached (601.6 and 610.9 cm2), boron concentration in leaves, number of pods per plants (36.78 and 38.56 pod.plant-1), number of seeds per pod and seed yield in fall season only (964.0 kg.ha-1) and protein percentage (25.62 and 24.99%) in both seasons respectively. It also gave a lowest number of days from planting to 50% flowering. The interaction between the concentrations of thiamine and boron gave significant differences in the leaf area, the number of days from planting to 50% flowering and the number of pods per plant in fall season.
