Physiological Studies for Different Concentration from Biochikol 020 PC (Chitosan) on Bean Plant

Abstract

The experiment was conducted in successive seasons of 2009 in ALKhober( Saudi Arabia). The aim of the experiment was to investigate the effect of the Biochikol 020 PC Chitosan on the growth of bean plants and the effect of Biochikol 020 PC Chitosan on the level of chlorophyll in the beans leaves too. The plants were watered with the Biochikol 020 PC Chitosan solution once at the beginning of the experiment at different concentrations as follow: 0 (control), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 & 3% until saturation. The results show that Biochikol 020 PC Chitosan works as a positive factor in enhancing shoot and root length, fresh & dry weights of shoots & roots, leaves area and total soluble sugars and sucrose.
