Safa Zafer Muhammad from Department of Horticulture and Landscape Gardening successfully defended her M.Sc. work with the title (The Effect of Adding Organic Fertilizer and Spraying Fruit Setting Regulators on the Growth and Yield of Green Pods in Broad Beans)
The study aimed to demonstrate the role of using organic fertilizer at different levels with irrigation water, along with spraying a fruit-setting regulator, in improving vegetative growth, increasing flowering and pod setting, and consequently enhancing the productivity of green pods of broad beans. The results showed that these treatments contributed significantly to improving the physiological and productive characteristics of the plant, promoting an environmentally friendly agricultural approach.
The researcher recommended using organic nutrients to enhance crop yield, along with applying nodulation regulators to improve floral characteristics. These practices can significantly reduce flower drop and increase productivity.
