Abstract

     Field experiment carried out within 2013/2014 in Altahyria region (35 km north Babylon province) to study the effect of spraying different levels of foliar  fertilizers on plant growth of Vicia Faba .L  local variety, the study included two factors  representing three levels of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer (PHOSS+Super Green) was (0, 10, and  20 ml.L.^-1 ) , and three levels of potassium fertilizer with micronutrients KTE was (0, 10, and 20 ml.L^-1) and their  interaction , the factorial  experiment  designed  at RCBD with  three replicates. The results summarized as follows:

            There are significant differences between the spray levels for both factors and their interaction , the high  levels of  both fertilizer decrease significantly  the early flowering process  and  maturity, increase  plant height , number of  branches, number of leaves , leaf area and the percentage of shoot dry matter  compared to treatment without spraying. The  20 ml.L^-1  treatment  of  PHOSS+Super  green fertilizer gave 88.2 day , 114.6 day , 70.60 cm , 7.01 branch , 108.6 leaf , 1063.66 cm² , and 31.80% respectively . While  20 ml.L^-1  treatment  of  KTE fertilizer gave 91.0 day , 113.8 day , 73.47 cm , 6.97 branch , 99.0 leaf , 955.27 cm² , and 31.30% respectively
