Abstract

In ordr to investigate the effects of foliar spraying of seaweed extract on the growth, yield, and biochemical characteristics of bitter squash plant (Carla), a randomized complete block design was adopted with three replications under field conditions the Research station of Faculty of Agriculture University of Birjand during growing season of 2016. Treatments included four levels of seaweed extract (0, 1. 5, 3, and 4. 5 ml. L) during three stages of foliar spraying (before flowering, flowering, and fruit set time). Findings showed that leaf growth indices were influenced by seaweed extract treatments, so that with increasing treatment levels, fresh and dry weight and leaf area also increased. The seaweed extract affected photosynthetic pigments (chl a, chl b, total chl, and carotenoid). The highest levels of chl a, b, total chl, and carotenoid were obtained in plants treated with 4. 5 ml. L seaweed extract while the lowest values were recorded in the control. Results also showed that seaweed extract improved quantitative characteristics of bush, so that the highest bush length and number of lateral branches were obtained at the highest level of the seaweed extract while the lowest values were recorded in the control. Application of different levels of seaweed extract had a positive effect on the yield indices (weight, length, and diameter of the fruit, number of fruits, and yield) and biochemical characteristics of fruit (antioxidants activity and total phenol). The highest yield, total phenol and Antioxidant activity were obtained in plants treated with 4. 5 ml. L seaweed extract. Generally, the findings of the current study revealed that the use of 4. 5 ml. L seaweed extract had strong impact on qualitative characteristics of bitter squash in the study.
