Effect Of Dry Yeast And Licorice Spray On Growth And Yield Of Local Cultivar Mung Bean

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during spring season of 2016in Zidan district, Abu- Graib , Baghdad to study the effect of sprying three concentrations of dry yeast ( 0, 5 and 10gL-1 ) and three concentrations licorice ( 0, 5 and 10gL-1 ) on the growth and yield of the local cultivarof mung bean ( Vigna radiate). A factorial experiment was done according to R.C.B.D with three replicates . The first factor was the concentrations of the dry yeast and the second was the three concentrations of licorice extract . The results show High concentrations of yeast and licorice extract were superior for most studied traits,since 10 g.L-1 of yeast extract achieved the highest mean of plant heigh, number of branches , pod length , number of pods. Plants sprayed with the highest concentrations of yeast and licorice showed the highest meanof leaf area, number of pods per plant , number of seeds per pod , pod length and seed yield.
