Effect of water types on some growth parameters of wheat, broad bean, black pepper and garlic plants under Al Baha KSA environmental conditions. [electronic resource].

Includes references.

Effect of water types on some growth parameters of wheat and broad bean plants was investigated at Al Baha KSA. Wheat plant irrigated with sole Zamzam or Zamzam combined with either treatedwater or tap-water gave pronounced increases in percentage of seed germination, shoot length, and shoot fresh and dry weight. Variation in growth parameters within water treatments on broad bean was negligible. However, percentage of flowering broad bean plants irrigated with Zamzam was considerable high compared with other water treatments. In another experiment, It was found that black pepper germination and some plant growth parameters, were increased significantly when the plants irrigated with zamzam or zamzam water combined with tap water than the plants irrigated with sole tap water. Whereas, differences in the percentage of germination or plant growth parameters were insignificant in terms of garlic plants when subjected to any of water treatments understudy.
