Influence of dap and foliar (ecozink)‎ fertilizers on growth and yield of two different types of barley (hordeum distichum)‎ in two locations

الملخص EN

This study was conducted in two different location Sharya and Doggata, during the growing seasons 2019/2020 to study the effect of fertilization for two types of Barley well as studying their growth and yield performance under rainfed environments.

Four forms of fertilization : Control treatment, Soil fertilizer; DAP 18: 46: 0, Foliar fertilizer (EcoZink), and both DAP plus Foliar fertilizer, the study designed in spilt plot design.

The analysis variance indicated highly significant (P ˂ 0.01) for number of head and plant height (cm) by effect of varieties, while the fertilizer effected significantly in above traits and leaf area cm-2.

However, their interaction were not significant for all other studies characters.

The location was significantly effected in biomass, grain yield, number of head m-2, plant height and leaf area cm-2.

From the results, the role of varieties, fertilizer types and locations individually effected in the studied characters While the interaction less role effected.

For 1000 seed weight the combination Dap and foliar Ecozink gave the batter 1000 seed weight and recorded 44.667g for Black barley and 44.83 g for White barley increasing 8% and 5% compare with control treatment, respectively.

The treatment (Dap + foliar Ecozink) is superior in all characters biomass, grain yield, 1000 seed weight, spike length, plant height and leaf area.

The result showed that the foliar Ecozink and Dap gave the highest value for grain yield at Sharya location where are the foliar Ecozink recorded the lowest value with White barley.
