Abstract

Background: . This research was carried out to investigate the effect of different substrate and spraying of seaweed extract on growth, yield and nutrient content of karla .
Materials and Methods: this research was carried out in a factorial design based on completely randomized design with four replicate in pots under hydropnic condition in rUniversity of Researcher Ardabil University. The first factor includes combination of substrate 50: 50 ratios (100) ratios (sawdust + cocopes, sawdust + perlite, sawdust + vermiculite, perlite + cocopeat, cocopeat + vermiculite, vermiculite + perlite) and second factor of leaf spray with Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extract in four Concentration (0, 0.5, 1 and 2 grams per liter) and in control treatment was sprayed with distilled water.
Results : The results showed that the highest amount for plant height (3.79 m) in vermiculite-cocopeat substrate and seaweed extract concentration of 1 g / l and the highest value for plant fresh weight plants (575.49 grams), dry weight (27.29 g), root fresh weight (149 / 81 g) and fruit yield (1492/50 g) were obtained in vermiculite-perlite treatment with a concentration of seaweed extract of 1 g / l, also in plant dry weight traits (138.36 g), fresh weight of fruit (33.36 g) In combination of vermiculite-perlite substrate and foliar spraying of 2 g / l from seaweed extract and .
Conclusion: , the results of this study indicated that the use of seaweed extract and perlite-vermiculite had the greatest impact on growth of karla in comparison to other treatments
