Abstract:
A field experiment was
conducted at the farm of Faculty of
Agriculture, Suez Canal University, Ismailia
Governorate, Egypt, during 2013/’14 and
2014/’15 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/’14 and 2014/’15.
