Abstract

The alkaline nature of arid regions soil usually reduces solubility and assimilability of micronutrients in the soil. A study has been carried out to focus on the effect of folia respraying of micronutrients (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Mo) on wheat cultivation—in saline and calcareous soil. The studied growth parameter is stem length, yield, the weight of 1000 seeds, and weight of dry matter. According to ANOVA at 5%, the following results were obtained: the Zn + Cu 87.67 cm, Cu + Mn 83.63 cm, Fe + Zn + Cu + Mo 83.53 cm treatments exerted the best lengths in succession. For dry matter, the best treatments reported are Zn + Cu + Mo 12,396.00 kg/ha, Fe + Mn + Mo 11,614.67 kg/ha, and Fe + Zn + Cu + Mn 11,415.67 kg/ha. The results of the weight of 1000 seeds are arranged a follows: Cu + Mo 44.62 g was the greatest followed by, Zn + Mo 42.97 g, and then by Zn + Cu + Mn + Mo 42.85 g. The top-ranked treatments in the yield parameter are Fe + Mo 3480.00 kg/ha, followed by Fe + Zn + Cu + Mn 3451.00 kg/ha, and then Mn + Mo 3442.20 kg/ha.
