To improve production, several techniques adopted of which drip irrigation, chemical fertilizers, soil conditioners and plant growth regulators.</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>In this, regard Irrigation at rates of 5L/hr for 10 min (1, 2 and 3 times/week frequencies) and amino acid foliar application of 0.00 ml/L (Null), 500 ml/L and 750ml/L were investigated. </em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Water quality, soil properties plant height, fresh weight, fresh root weight, and yield count and yield weight measured. </em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>The plant growth parameters and yield are significantly responded to irrigation rates and to less degree to amino acid (biostimulant) .The interaction between treatments was significant at P&lt;0.05. The application of amino acid at rate of 750 mg L<sup>-1</sup> is relatively better but statistically insignificant. Such other parameters, Soil salinity effect, source of amino acid and application rates and time should be considered</em></strong><strong>.</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p&gt;}, number={9}, journal={IJRDO-Journal of Agriculture and Research (ISSN: 2455-7668)}, author={elgubshawi, Abdelmoneim Ahmed and Attia, Hussin}, year={2021}, month={Sep.}, pages={01-06} }
