Effects of salicylic acid elicitor and potassium fertilizer as foliar spray on canola production in the reclaimed land in Ismailia governorate, Egypt
A field experiment was
conducted at the farm of Faculty of
Agriculture, Suez Canal University, Ismailia
Governorate, Egypt, during 2013/β14 and
2014/β15 seasons, to determine the effects
of salicylic acid elicitor (SA) and potassium
fertilizer (K) as foliar spray on canola
production in the reclaimed land. Canola
plants were sprayed with three rates of K
and SA separately and together. The
concentrations of SA with a surfactant
triton 0.1% and concentrations of K sprayed
after 30 days of sowing by one week
interval for three times using hydraulic
sprayer. Results indicated that K and SA
provided good nutrition and resistance for
pathogens, enhanced plant height (cm),
number of branches/ plant, fruiting zone
(cm), seed yield/ plant (g), seed yield/ fed
and oil percentage of canola cultivar
(Serw 4) in the reclaimed land. K and SA
separately or in combination at the rate of
(6.0 cm-1 + 300 mg-1 SA) provided the best
nutrition for enhancing resistance of plants
against biotic and a biotic factors,
consequently, enhancing vegetative growth
and yield production during seasons of
study 2013/β14 and 2014/β15
