| Abstract | ||||
| This investigation was conducted at Ismailia Agric. Res. Station Agri. Res. Center during the two successive seasons 2003/04 and 2004/05 to study the effect of three Nofatrin application at 30, 60 and 90 days after planting in addition to the control treatment on yield and yield components of three flax varieties i.e., Sakha1, Sakha2 and Giza8. Moreover, to estimate correlation coefficient ( r) between different characters. Results obtained can be summarized as follow: 1- The flax variety Sakha1 surpass either Sakha2 or the lowest one Giza8 in total length, technical length, straw yield per plant as well as per faddan, fiber yield per plant as well as per faddan, fiber percentage and fiber length in both seasons and also in combined analysis over them. 2- The variety Sakha2 ranked first and superior the other two varieties Sakha1 and Giza8 in no. of fruiting branches, no. of capsules per plant, no. of seeds per capsule, 1000-seed weight, seed yield per plant as well as per faddan, oil percentage and oil yield per faddan in both seasons and combined analysis. 3- Nofatrin application times significantly differed and there are gradual increment in the mean values of each character from the control up to the largest time of application (at 90 days old). Moreover, the difference between the two treatment i.e., spray after 60 and 90 days from sowing did not reached the level of significance in most economical yield characters. 4- The estimates of correlation coefficient (r ) were highly significant and positive between straw yield per faddan and each of straw yield per plant, technical length, fiber yield per faddan, fiber yield per plant, fiber length, seed yield per plant and no. of capsules per plant. On the other hand, the r values were not significant and positive between fiber yield per faddan and each of seed yield per faddan, seed yield per plant, no. of capsules per plant, 1000-seed weight, oil yield per faddan and oil percentage. | ||||
