A field experiment was conducted in the winter of 2022-2023 at a field in Baqubah, Diyala Governorate. The purpose was to investigate the effects of salicylic acid spraying on specific morphological and physiological characteristics of fenugreek plants with varying concentrations of GA3. A factorial experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with three replications. One element involved spraying three different concentrations of salicylic acid (0, 10, and 20 mg L-1), whereas the other involved spraying three different concentrations of GA3 (0, 50, and 100 mg L-1). Results indicated that spraying fenugreek plants with a concentration of 20 mg L-1 of salicylic acid significantly increased plant height and potassium content in leaves.
Meanwhile, spraying salicylic acid at a concentration of 10 mg L-1 led to a significant increase in the number of branches and leaves per plant, phosphorus content in leaves, chlorophyll index, and plant dry weight. Applying GA3 at a concentration of 100 mg L-1 resulted in a notable increase in plant height, leaf potassium content, shoot dry weight, and shoot carbohydrate and phosphorus content. On the other hand, using GA3 at a concentration of 50 mg L-1 led to a significant increase in the number of branches and leaves per plant, phosphorus content in leaves, chlorophyll index, and plant dry weight. The interaction between salicylic acid and GA3 significantly affected all the features tested.
