Abstract Two field experiments were conducted at Ali Moubark Farm, South Tahrir Research Station, Horticulture Research Institute, during 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 seasons, to study the effect of different planting dates, soil solarization and soaking treatments of propagation material on inducing earliness and improving quantity, as well as quality of globe artichoke (Hyrious cultivar) grown under local conditions of new reclaimed lands. Three different planting dates (July 15th, August 5th and September 1st) and two soil solarization treatments (non-solarized and solarized) were used in addition to 4 soaking treatments of propagation material before planting as follow: a) Dipping for 5 seconds in 100 ppm of indole butyric acid (IBA) solution. b) Dipping for 20 minutes in fungicide solution of 1g/litre Topsen M 70; + 2 g/litre Radomel + 3 g/litre Rizolex T. c) A combination of a and b treatments. d) Control. |
