Abstract

THIS STUDY was conducted during the two winter seasons of 2015/ 2016 and 2016/ 2017 at Met Rabia Village, (Private Farm) Bilbas, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt, to study the impact of foliar spraying with micronutrients on growth, chemical composition , yield and anatomy of stem and leaves of fenugreek cv. Giza 3 .Micronutrients were sprayed at concentrations of 0, 0.25,0.50,0.75 and 1.00 ml / L. The most significant promotion was recorded when fenugreek plants were sprayed with 0.75 ml / L micronutrients . This treatment gave beneficial changes in both morphological and crop characteristics. Foliar spraying with micronutrients at 0.75 ml / L increased the main stem diameter, cortex thickness,vascular cylinder , number of vascular bundles, except that of thickness of epidermis , fibrous tissue and pith diameter. Foliar application with micronutrients at 0.75 ml / L increased thickness of both lamina leaflet blades and midvein of fenugreek plants cv. Giza 3. It is clear that the increase in thickness of lamina is due to the increase in thickness of spongy and palisade tissues. The main vascular bundle of the midvein bundle increased in size. Number of xylem vessels /midvein bundle increased.
