Effect of foliar application of ascorbic and humic acids with bio fertilizer on yield components, germination, seedling vigor and nutrients content of maize grains under saline soil [electronic resource].

Includes reference

A field experiment was conducted in the two summer successive seasons 2012and 2013 at Sahl- El-Tainia (North Sinia)to study the effect of foliar application Humic and Ascorbic acids and Azospirllim brasilense fertilizer on yield components, germination , seedling vigor and chemical analysis of maize grains. The two acids were applied according to factory recommendation (1.5 and 3.0 g per/ lit) seeds were inoculation with Azospirllim brasilense (200g/1kg seeds) before planting. The experimental design was randomized completely block design with three replications. The maize (Zea mays L) cultivar Triple hybrid 310 was used. The results showed that yield components , germination percentage ,shoot length, seedling fresh weight were increased under the application ascorbic acid 1.5g/l + Azospirllim brasilense, while the increase in radical length of seedling was under the application of humic acid 3.0g/l + Azospirllim brasilense.
