Impact of Magnetic Water Irrigation for Improve Growth Parameters of Two Onion Cultivars Allium cepa L.

Abstract

A field experiment was carried out during 2015-2016 in the Bqubah nursery that belongs to Directorate of Diyala agriculture to study the effect of magnetized irrigation water on growth parameters of two onion cultivars viz. Texas early white 1012 and Texas munerva 1013. The experimental design was split plot with four replications. Results were revealed that significant differences between Texas early white 1012 and Texas munerva 1013, magnetic and non magnetic water and also interaction of two varieties x magnetic and non magnetic water in all tested growth parameters. Texas munerva 1013 was surpassed on Texas early white 1012 and magnetic water was surpassed on non magnetic water in all studied growth parameters such as bulb diameter , Bulb height , Bulb weight without leaves , Number of green leaves and Weight of green leaves.
