| Abstract | ||||
| The present study was conducted on potato plant (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Spunta) during the two successive seasons of 2002 and 2003, using five concentrations of EM1 stock solution (1, 5,10,15 and 20 mUL) compared with control plants. The first three concentrations of EM1 induced significant increases -in plant height, number of stems/plant, number of leaves/plant, total leaf area / plant, number of tubers / plant and weight of tubers / plant, in both studied seasons. Treatment 5 ml EM1/L gave the highest values in most of the investigated morphological and yield characters compared to control plants. While, the other used two concentrations of 15 and 20 ml EM1/L induced significant decrease in all of the previous studied characters. Anatomical studies were made on plants treated with 5 and 15 ml EM1/L which gave the extreme differences in morphological characters compared with control. Treatment of 5 ml EM1/L gave the thickest roots, stems and leaves. | ||||
