Abstract

3 Abstract: The aim of this research was to study the effect of foliar spraying with different concentrations of application of molybdenum (Mo) and magnesium (Mg) on the vegetative growth, chemical content and curds yield of cauliflower cv. Amshiry under field conditions. Plants were sprayed with 15, 30 and 45 µg/l Mo at 20, 40, 60 and 80 days after transplanting, whilst Mg was foliar sprayed at 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% at 15, 35, 55 and 75 days after transplanting. Results showed that 30 and 45 µg/l Mo significantly improved vegetative growth parameters, curds yield and its components and chemical composition of leaves and curds. Likewise, using 0.50 and 0.75% Mg significantly enhanced foliar fresh weight, plant height, leaves fresh weight and leaves dry weight, total and marketable curds yield and chemical composition of leaves and curds. From these results, it could be recommended that molybdenum and magnesium individually or in combination are important and essential elements in the chemical fertilization management system for the cauliflower production cultivated under Egyptian soil conditions.
