Abstract

This experiment has been carried out in the Biology Dept.- Collage of Education for Women –University of Anbar during the winter Season 2012_2013, The aim has been to study the effect of several levels of magnesium (0, 100, 150, 200 and 250)mg.L-1Mgo , Application foliar spray on some morphological properties of wheat plant leaves (Fatah) which include No. of branches, No .of leaves, leave area, dry weight of the vegetative part and dry weight of the roots. The experiment has also included (CRD) was used at three replicates for each treatment. Flowerpots with a capacity of (8) Kg of soil have been prepared ; frtilizers have been added to wheat (TriticumaestivumL.) according to recommendation. The sprayed on plant leaves, seven times each levels oh added magnesium, one spraying for each ten days. The results could be summarized as follows. Increasing levels of magnesium addition had significantly; addition magnesium level at 200 mg.L-1. No of leaves Value was; (11 leaves.plant-1) of leave area, (46 cm2) of dry weight of the vegetative part (81 gm) dry weight of the roots, (16gm), except No. of branches where addition level at 250 mg.L-1 the excelled, and the highest value was (3.8 branch.plant-1).
