inches for onions. Distance between rows was 2 1/2 feet.
Biostimulators were applied at the rate of 1, 2, 3 and 4 ounces per gallon by soaking plant
roots for 30 minutes in the various
solutions of biostimulators. The plants were then transplanted in the field. Normally recommended production practices such as irrigation, fertilization and pest control were followed. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with four replications (five plants per replicate). Data collected included yield per plant and plant fresh weights. The data was analyzed using SAS by the ANOVA procedure and means separated by Duncaifs Multiple Range test at the 5% level of probability. Table 1 shows the influence of Roots and FeRoots on head
weight of cabbage. FeRoots
at 1 oz per gallon increased cabbage head weight compared to the control. The remaining treatments did not influence cabbage head weight. Table 2
shows the influence of Roots and 5
FeRoots on broccoli. Roots at 4 oz per gallon increased yield compared to the control. The remaining treatments did not have an effect. Table3 shows
the influence of Roots and FeRoots
on broccoli plant fresh weight. Roots at 1 oz per gallon, 3 oz per gallon and. 4 oz per gallon increased plant fresh weight of broccoli. FeRoots at 2 oz per gallon increased plant fresh weight of broccoli. The remaining FeRoots dosages did not influence broccoli fresh weight. Table 4 shows the influence of Roots and FeRoots on cabbage fresh weight. There was a tendency for Roots at 3 oz per gallon to increase fresh weight. Also, FeRoots at 1 oz per gallon tended to increase fresh weight of cabbage. Table 5 shows the influence of Roots and FeRoots on onion yields. Roots at 3 oz per gallon increased yield (onion weight) as compared to the control. The remaining treatments had no effect. |
