| Abstract | ||
| Foliar spray of yeast at 0, 1 and 2 gIL levels and salicylic acid (SA) at 0, 50, 100 and 150 ppm were applied to common bean plants c.v Bronco. Obtained results revealed that using 2 gIL of yeast was most effective treatment in plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, fresh and dry weighVplant as well as total chlorophyll content of leaves. and green pods yield and its components except the pod weight. seed yield and its components and weight of 100 seed. However, SA as antioxidant substance retarded the vegetative growth specially when used at the highest used concentrations i.e. 100 and 150 ppm. Obtained results showed that, (SA) at 50 ppm had the best effect on growth, chlorophyll content, and green pods yield and its components except weight of pod, seed yield and its components as well as weight of 100 dry seed. Applying yeast at 2 gIL combining with SA at 50 ppm promoted plant growth, chlorophyll content, and green pods yield and its components except green pod weight, seed yield and its components and weight of 100 dry seed. On the other hand, it was observed that spraying yeast at 2 gIL or salicylic acid at 50 ppm each alone or interacting together had no effect on seed germination percentage and germination rate of dry seeds. | ||
