Abstract :
Onions (Allium cepa L.) are the second most important vegetable crop in Libya after tomatoes, due to the large indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides among farmers. So, this study examined the effects of different foliar application treatments on improving the growth parameters of local white onion, represented by: firstly; the foliar application treatment alone of (GA3, IBA and seaweed extracts of Padina pavonica, and secondly; combined treatment between (P.pavonica + GA3 or/and IBA). Generally, The results showed that all foliar application treatments had a significant effect on increase Length of leaves, leaves width, number of leaves /plant, fresh weight of leaves, dry weight of leaves, bulb length, bulb diameter, bulb weight, neck thickness of bulb. In addition, an increase in the content of chlorophyll (a and b) and minerals (p and k). However, combined treatment is most effective for the highest obvious increment in growth parameters, especially P.pavonica 10%+ 300ppm GA3.
