Impacts of Using some Fertilization Treatments in Presence of Salicylic Acid Foliar Spray on Growth and Productivity of Coriandrum sativum L. Plant

Abstract

The present study was conducted during ( 2017-2018 and 2018-2019) seasons, at the Hort. Dept., Fac., of . Agric., Benha Univ., Egypt to study the effect of chemical fertilizers (NPK) as a full dose and biofertilization (Bio.) consisting of a mixture of (Nitrobein + Phosphorein) in the presence of Salicylic acid ( SA) foliar spray at 150 ppm in a single or combinations inbetween them on vegetative growth ,grain yield ,chemical constituents parameters and oil productivity of coriander plants comparison with control plants in both seasons. The results indicated that different treatments of NPK mineral fertilizer, biofertilization and salicylic acid treatments , either alone or mixed among them, resulted in a significant increase in the growth ,chemical constituents parameters and oil productivity in both seasons. The use of 100% NPK achieved the highest results in the characteristics of growth, yield and chemical composition, followed by the use of the treatment of 75%NPK +Bio.+SA, where it achieved a significant maximize in this concern,whereas the treatment of 75% NPK + Bio. ranked the third in this context as compared with untreated plants in both seasons. Also, the combined treatment of 75% NPK + Bio. + SA gave the highest values of oil productivity. Consequently, in order to achieve the highest values of growth and chemical constituents ,it is preferable to treate coriander with NPK at 100% or 75%NPK + Bio. + SA. Also, it is possible to treat coriander plant with 75% dose NPK +Bio. + SA to improve oil productivity.
