Study Some Physiological Aspects and Mineral comparison of Local Lens Under Water Stress and Germicide Effection
Abstract
Dithan M-45 Lens culinaris M.. . / . Dithan M-45 Dithan M-45 .This study was conducted to investigate the effect of water stress and fungicide "Dithan M-45" on the growth of lens plant Lens culinaris M. and then determine the mineral component N%, P, K, Na uptake, total protein, and Chlorophyll parameters.The results showed that the increase in the tension level of water affects significantly the physiological characteristics of the lens plants. This led to a significant decrease in the dry weight of shoot and roots, chlorophyll and protein content. The results also showed that there is significant reduction in phosphorous and potassium uptake, whereas there was an increase in sodium uptake.Using fungus germicide has given a positive and encouraging effects comparing with control treatment. The germicide increased the dry weight of each shoot and root parts of lens plant and encouraged the absorption of mineral nutrients. Also it increased the rate of nitrogen uptake and protein production On the other hand there are no affection was noticed on chlorophyll content.
