Abstract
In this study, the effect of foliar application of Asparagine (ASN) and
Casein (CSN) during vegetative stage at four rates (0, 50, 100 and 150 mg l-1)
was investigated on garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.). The results showed
that asparagine application, especially at a high level, could significantly
increase the morpho-physiological traits such as plant height, leaf and stem
fresh weights and leaf and stem dry weights, leaf pigments (chlorophyll a and
chlorophyll b) and leaf nutrients content (Nitrogen and Phosphorus). Also, the
results indicated that casein application at 50 mg l-1 rate had the best performance
through in stem and root fresh weights, stem dry weight and diameter
of main stem traits. Casein application at rate 100 mg l-1 had the highest leaf
nitrogen and phosphorus content. Generally, our findings suggest that the use
of asparagine and casein can be considered as an appropriate growth regulator
in garden cress cultivation
