The impact of (alga mix)‎ seaweed and garlic extraction on growth and yield of cauliflower

Abstract EN

Seaweed and plants extracts can be applied as biostimulants during vegetable improvement owing to their improvement effects on plant growth, so this study was conducted in Horticulture Department, University of Sulaimani, Kurdistan region-Iraq to investigate the influence of different treatments such as Sea weed (Alga Mix) with (0, 5 and 10 ml.

l-1) and Garlic extraction at levels (0, 10% and 20% ) V/V on growth and yield of cauliflower.

Effect of Alga Mix with (10 ml-1) significantly increased in vegetative growth characteristics; included plant height (47.14 cm), stem diameter (21.18 mm).

Also, using garlic extraction with (20% ) V/V significantly enhanced plant height (45.65 cm), Number of (34.11 leaf.

From these results, it could be recommended that Alga Mix and Garlic extraction individually or in combination are important for improving the cauliflower growth and Seaweed and plants extracts can be applied as biostimulants during vegetable improvement owing to their improvement effects on plant growth, so this study was conducted in Horticulture Department, University of Sulaimani, Kurdistan region-Iraq to investigate the influence of different treatments such as Sea weed (Alga Mix) with (0, 5 and 10 ml.
