| Abstract | ||||
| Two field trials were conducted at Sherbin area, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt, during the two successive seasons of 2006 and 2007 to study the effect of some antioxidant foliar treatments on growth and productivity of pea (cv. Master-B). Ascorbic acid (vitamin C), vitamin E (α–Tocopherol), salicylic acid and their combinations were used as antioxidants foliar treatments at 0, 100, 150 and 200 ppm concentrations. The main findings showed that spraying Formula 2, which contains ascorbic acid + vitamin E + salicylic acid (each at 150 ppm) increased plant growth i.e. fresh and dry weight per plant. Using formula 2 or formula 3 which contains ascorbic acid + vitamin E + salicylic acid (each at 200 ppm) gave significantly the highest values of leaf chlorophyll, shoot N content, pods setting percentage, average weight of pod, number of seeds/ pod, 100 green seeds weight and fresh pod yield (ton/fed) under early planting conditions. | ||||
