Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out at Al-Hartha Research Station, is one Agricultural / College of Agriculture/ University of Basrah during the winter season 2021-2022 ,to determine the effect of mineral fertilization (0 , 50% from fertilizer recommendation and 100% from fertilizer recommendation 180 N + 100 P + 120 K kg ha-1), spraying with extracts of Licorice and moringa leaves (0 , spraying with a concentration of 50% and 100% Licorice extract , spraying with a concentration of 50% and 100% Moringa leaf extract) on yield and quality of Wheat of variety Bhooth -22. The experiment was factorial in R.C.B.D design with three replicate .The results showed that adding 100% of recommendation fertilizer led to an increase in the yield .The percent of increasing in grain yield , protein and wet gluten percentage in grains compared to the control was 20.81, 15.35 and 10.79% respectively. Spraying with 100% Licorice extract gave the highest averages for all traits, The percent of increasing in grain yield , protein and wet gluten percentage in grains compared to the control was 24.81, 15.84 and 9.79% respectively .The interaction of fertilizer recommendation 100% and spraying with 100% concentration of licorice extract achieved the highest averages, the percent of increasing in grain yield was 39.75%, grain protein 104.76% and wet gluten 30.68% compared to the interaction treatment of control for both factors.
Key words: Wheat, Liquorice, Moringa, Yield,Gluten.
