Effect of magnetic saline irrigation water with different gausses on the growth and yield of two tomato varieties grown in desert land

Abstract

This experiments was conducted in plastic house of ahached guiding center/Karbala during the growing season of 2008-2009. Soil texture was sandy loam. The purpose was to study the effect of magnetic well water of different gausses (1000, 1250, 1750) G on the cultivars grown and yield components of two tomato Varieties (Shrouq and Locas). The RCBD with three replications was used. Results showed that the irrigated with magnetized water with 1750G was superior in number of fruit/ plant, fruit weigh, fruit diameter, number of shoots, Plant height, leaves area, leaves length, these characters were significantly increased for both cultivars. On the other hand there was significant impact of the treatment on the yield.
