| Abstract | ||||
| Two field experiments were carried out at Ras Sudr Research Station, DRC, during 1997/1998 and 1998/1999 growing seasons, to study the effect of organic manure rates and gibberellic acid (GA3) application method on some growth parameters, growth analysis measurements and forage yield of fodder beet. The experiment was arranged in a split plot design with three replicates. Samples were taken after 100 and 212 day from sowing for determining the previous traits. The results can be summarized as follows: 1. Raising farmyard manure rates from zero up to 50 m3/fed. led to gradual increment of most growth characters .Similar effect was achieved by applying GA3 (100 ppm) as a foliar application. 2. Most of growth analysis as well as forage yield characters were responded positively by increasing organic manure levels and spraying the plants by GA3 (100 ppm). 3. The interaction between the two main factors under study was significant only at the first season for some traits. | ||||
