Abstract

Agrosol and brassinolide applications had increased changes in the growth and physiology of fig. The experiment was arranged as an RCBD factorial with three replications. The Results of this research indicated that increasing agrosol (control, 2, 2.5, and 3 kg/ha) and brassinolide concentration (control and 200 ml/L) caused some differences in growth and physiology of fig. However, the differences were not consistent and most of the changes happened only in the first or fourth months. Agrosol 2 kg/ha and brassinolide 200 ml/L showed higher growth and physiology than the other concentrations after receiving agrosol and brassinolide treatment. There was no effective treatment of brassinolide alone but it had a significant effect when combining with agrosol except in chlorophyll fluorescence.
