Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of safflower under the influence of humic acid and zinc chelate in field conditions. The experiment was carried out in a factorial form in the form of randomized complete blocks in a farm in Saqez city in 2019. The results showed that the effect of humic acid treatment was significant at the 5% probability level on plant height and on the number of sub-branches at the 5% probability level. The effect of zinc chelate and the interaction of treatments on both traits were significant at the 1% probability level. The use of all three foliar treatments (humic acid zinc chelate and the interaction of treatments) had a significant effect on the number of seeds per plant. Comparison of averages showed. The highest number of seeds per plant in the combined treatment of 1 mg/liter of zinc chelate and 400 mg/liter of humic acid (125/33) as well as the treatment of 2 mg/liter of zinc chelate (123/25) and the lowest number in There was a combined treatment of 100 mg/l of humic acid and 2 mg/l of zinc chelate. The results showed that zinc chelate treatment and the combined treatment of zinc chelate and humic acid had a significant effect on the number of leaves in safflower plant, but humic acid treatment did not have a significant effect on this trait. C The results of the present study showed that the amount of linoleic acid increased with the addition of humic acid and zinc chelate, but the amount of oleic acid decreased.
