Abstract

An experimentallrial was callied out althe Experimental Farm of Sakha Agric.
Res. Stalion during two seasons (1999/2000 and 2000101) to study the effect of FYM
and planting space on Ammi v/snaga l . plants. FYM was used at the rale of 15. 20
and 25 m3 /fed. Which were added before planting and during the preparation of the
experimental field and planting spaces were at 20, 25 and 30 cm.
The data showed that, using 25 ml lfed. FYM Significantly Increased vegetative
growth, and by Increasing planting spaces up to 30 em apart vegetative growth
Significantly increased. .
TreaUng plants with different rates of FYM increased seed we{ght per planl and
plot, these Increments were statlstically insignificant while, plantlng space up (030 em
signlficantly Increased seed weight.
Active ingredient of Ammi visnsga (Visnagin & khlein) significantly increased
by increasing both llie rate of FYM and planting spaces.
Nitrogen, phosphorous and potassIum content of the aerial parts of plant
signirlCantly Increased by increaSing the rale of organic manure and planting spaces.
