The College of Agriculture at the University of Basra organized a seminar on the effects of irrigation duration, potassium application, and proline foliar spraying on certain growth and yield characteristics of rapeseed.

The seminar, presented by researcher Elaf Dakhel Bader, aimed to study the impact of different irrigation intervals, potassium and proline levels, and their interaction on vegetative growth characteristics and yield components of rapeseed cultivated under the conditions of Basra Governorate.

The results showed that the effects of irrigation duration, potassium levels, and proline were significant on most growth and yield characteristics. The application of these treatments led to improved water use efficiency and increased yield in both quantity and quality.

The study recommended the potential use of potassium and proline in areas with limited irrigation water as agents to enhance rapeseed's tolerance to water stress.
