The Influence Of Priming Two Cucumber Cultivar Seeds

J. Duhok Univ. Vol.13, No.1, (Agri. And Vet. Sciences) Pp 36-48, 2010
2- Fruit Fresh Weight (g): Table (2) shows That
the largest increase in fruit fresh weight was
induced by 5ppm NAA, 0.2% KNO3 and 60ppm
Fe which was significantly higher than the
untreated tree. The highest average of fruit fresh
weight was obtained when trees were sprayed
with 5ppm NAA0.2% KNO3, 5ppm
NAA60ppm Fe and 0.2% KNO3 60ppm Fe
which was significantly differ from control.
Regarding the effect of interactions of
NAA KNO3 Fe, shows that the maximum
fresh weight of fruit (104.75g) was obtained
when peach trees were foliar sprayed with 5ppm
NAA 0.2% KNO3 60ppm Fe which was
significantly higher as compared with the other
interactions and control. Whereas the minimum
fresh weight of fruit (85.96 g) was noticed in the
untreated trees.

3 - Fruit Pulp Weight (g): Values in table (3)
cleared that the highest concentration of 5ppm
NAA or 0.2% KNO3 or 60ppm Fe increased fruit
pulp weight significantly (91.63, 90.51 and
91.54g) respectively. The interactions between
NAAKNO3, NAAFe and KNO3 Fe resulted
the highest fruit pulp weight was obtained when
trees were foliar sprayed with 5ppm
NAA0.2% KNO3 (93.48g),
5ppmNAA60ppm Fe (95.14g) and 0.2%

weight (81.70g) was recorded in the untreated
trees.
4- Fruit Size (cm³): The size of fruit increased
significantly and gradually by increasing the
levels of NAA to 5ppm, KNO3 to 0.2% and Fe to
60ppm. The interactions of NAAKNO3,
NAA Fe and KNO3 Fe resulted in a
significant increase in fruit size. The maximum
fruit size was attained to trees sprayed with
5ppm NAA 0.2% KNO3 (98.11cm³), 5ppm
