The Influence Of Priming Two Cucumber Cultivar Seeds

J. Duhok Univ. Vol.13, No.1, (Agri. And Vet. Sciences) Pp 36-48, 2010
NAA60ppm Fe (98.23cm³) and 0.2% KNO3
60ppm Fe (98.38cm³). Concerning the
interactions between NAA KNO3 Fe, shows
that the interaction between 5ppm NAA0.2%
KNO360ppm Fe gave the highest value
(102.35cm³) of fruit size, whereas the lowest
value of fruit size (85.37cm³) was observed from
the untreated trees (table 4).
5- Fruit Carbohydrate (%): Table (5) showed
that the fruit Carbohydrate concentration was
increased significantly by increasing the levels
to5ppm NAA, 0.2% KNO3 and 60 ppm Fe. The
04
interactions of 5ppmNAA 0.2% KNO3, 5ppm
NAA 60ppm Fe or 0.2% KNO3 60ppm Fe had
a significant increase of fruit Carbohydrate
concentration as compared to other interactions.
The highest percentage of Carbohydrate
concentration (18.25%) was attained when the
trees received 5ppm NAA 0.2% KNO3 60ppm
Fe, whereas the lowest percentages of
Carbohydrate (11.13%) in fruits was obtained
from trees receiving no NAA, KNO3 or Fe
(control).
