Jaddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Abstract. This study was carried out during 2009 and 2010 seasons for examining the effect of ethrel, magnesium and boron either applied singly or in combinations on growth and flowering aspects of bougainvillea (Bougainvillea glabra). Spraying was done either in vegetative shoot stage or at flowering shoot stage with fully developed thorn inflorescence axis. Growth was greatly improved with spraying boric acid at % and or magnesium sulphate at 0.05 %. The maximum values of plant height (111 and cm. during both seasons) and leaf area (29 and 29.5 cm 2 during both seasons) were recorded with spraying magnesium sulphate at 0.05 % in combined with boric acid at % regardless the application of ethrel at vegetative shoot stage. Ethrel had no effect on growth aspects. Ethrel, magnesium and boron treatments effectively advanced time of flowering and promoted number of flowers per plant. Time of flowering (in days) from planting reached 18 days with spraying magnesium, boron and ethrel together at vegetative shoot or flowering shoot stages. The maximum number of flowers per plant (30 and 31 flowers during both seasons) was recorded with using magnesium, boron and ethrel at vegetative shoot stage. Dropping of leaves and flowers was enhanced with using ethrel at flowering shoot stage with fully developed thorn inflorescence. Production of ACC and Ethylen was enhanced with using ethrel lately. Spraying the plants with ethrel at 75 ppm at flowering stage recorded the maximum values of ACC (0.1 g nmole g -1 ) and ethylene (1.41 and 1.43 nl g -1 h -1 during both seasons). For promoting growth and flower formation of bougainvillea glabra, it is advised to spray the plants once early at vegetative shoot stage (15 days after planting) with magnesium sulphate at 0.05 %, boric acid at % and ethrel at 75 ppm. 55
2 56 Ahmad Ibrahim Al-Qubaie Introduction Bougainvillea glabra which belongs to family Nyctagivaceae is an economically important ornamental flower in subtropical and tropical regions. As a valued ornamental shrub- vine use in landscaping is disturbed from hot sunny areas to cool damp coastal region worldwide. It is also popular as a potted plant and in hanging baskets. Ethrel (2- chloro- ethyl phosphonic acid) is considered a potent promoting compound responsible for enhancing and advancing flowering aspects. This is attributed to its action in releasing ethylene which is responsible in activating hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes involved in degradation of chlorophylls (Leopold, 1960, Moor, 1979, Lavee, 1987; Nooden, 1988, Prince and Cumningham, 1989, Hoyer, 1995 and Liu and Chang, 2011). Magnesium is not usually applied to ornamental plants especially cut flowers as a routine matter. Magnesium is vital to the production of chlorophylls and the biosynthesis of carbohydrates as well as the stimulation and enhancement of flowering in most floriculture. The promotion on flowering due to application of magnesium is attributed to the beneficial effect of such nutrient in activating enzymes and the biosynthesis of DNA, RNA as well as increasing the uptake of phosphorus (Nijjar, 1985). The positive functions of boron on ornamental plants were attributed to its essential roles in translocation of sugars as well as enhancing the formation of meristems, cell division and root development. The beneficial effect of boron on preventing the abortion of flowers, the conversion of starch to soluble sugars and the incidence of different disorders (Nijjar, 1985). Application of magnesium (El- Sayed, 2007, El- Sherbeny et al., 2007, El- Sayed, 2010 and Mohamed, 2012), boron (Ingels, 1994, Attia, 2001, El- Sayed, 2007 and 2010 and Mohamed, 2012) were very effective in enhancing growth and flowering of horticultural crops. A great promotion on flowering of horticultural crops was observed with using ethrel (Weltering, 1987, Thimann, 1988, Clark and Kelly, 1991, Serek et al., 1994, Curti- Daiz, 1994, Leao and Assis, 1999 and Mohamed, 2012).
3 Effect of Treating Bougainvillea grabra with Ethrel, Magnesium and Boron on 57 This study was conducted to study the effect of some ethrel, magnesium and boron treatments on vegetative and flowering aspects on Bougainvillea glabra. Materials and Methods This study was carried out during 2009 and 2010 seasons on one year old seedlings of potted Taipei Red Bougainvillea glabra in the experimental farm of King Abdulaziz Univ. at Hada Al- Sham, Saudi Arabia. The plants were planted in 18 cm pots filled with 5 kg planting medium containing 1 sand: 1 peat moss each pot contained one seedling. All the seedlings were pruned to leave 50 cm tall with a mean of 17 nodes. During the experimental period, the plants were thoroughly watered every one to three days when the surface of the soil medium appeared slightly dry. Each pot was fertilized monthly with 3 g N, 3 g P and 2 g K in the sources of ammonium sulphate (20.6 % N), calcium superphosphate (15.5 % P 2 O 5 )and potassium sulphate (48 % K 2 O), respectively. The experiment included the following eleven treatments:- 1- Control (untreated plants). 2- Spraying ethrel at 75 ppm at vegetative growth stage (after 15 days from planting). 3- Spraying ethrel at 75 ppm at flowering stage (after 25 days from planting) with the thorn- inflorescence axis developed fully (FS 1 ) stage. 4- Spraying magnesium sulphate at 0.05 % at vegetative growth. 5- Spraying magnesium sulphate at 0.05 % at (FS 1 ) stage. 6- Spraying boric acid at % at vegetative shoot stage. 7- Spraying boric acid at % at (FS 1 ) stage. 8- Spraying both magnesium sulphate at 0.05 % + boric acid at % at vegetative shoot stage. 9- Spraying both magnesium sulphate at 0.05 % + boric acid at % at (FS 1 ) stage. 10- Spraying magnesium sulphate at 0.05 % + boric acid at % + ethrel at 75 ppm at vegetative shoot stage.
4 58 Ahmad Ibrahim Al-Qubaie 11- Spraying magnesium sulphate at 0.05 % + boric acid % + ethrel at 75 ppm at (FS 1 ) stage. Each treatment was replicated three times, ten plants per each. All ethrel and nutrients were sprayed either at vegetative shoot stage or at flowering stage with the thorn- inflorescence developed fully. The control plants were at the vegetative shoot stage and received no ethrel or nutrients. Randomized complete block design was followed. The following parameters were measured:- plant height (cm), leaf area (cm 2 ), time of flowering (days), number of flowers per plant, percentages of dropping flowers and leaves and content of ACC (1- Aminocyclopropane -1- Carpoxylic acid) (a precursor of ethylene) (nmole g -1 ) and ethylene (nl g -1 h -1 ) of the shoots. ACC measurements were determined from 1 cm internodes segments of the tested plants cut from 10 cm below the apical bud (according to Lizada and Yang, (1979). Three leaves of each treated plant were taken for measuring ethylene production (Wheeler et al., 1996). Statistical analysis was carried out and new L.S.D test at 0.05 was used to compare the treatment means (El-Nakhlawy. 2010). Results and Discussion 1- Growth Characters. It is clear from the data in Table 1 that using ethrel at vegetative growth or at flowering shoot stage once as well as the control treatment significantly produced the lowest values of growth characters in relative to using Mg and or B. using magnesium sulphate was superior than using boric cid in this respect. Mg + B application gave the best results relative to using each nutrient alone. The maximum values of plant high (111 and cm. during both seasons) and leaf area (29 and 29.5 cm 2 during both seasons) were recorded with spraying magnesium sulphate at 0.05 % in combined with folic acid at % regardless the application of ethrel at vegetative growth stage. Similar trend was observed during both seasons. The beneficial effect of magnesium and boron on enhancing cell division, the biosynthesis and translocation of organic food and enzymes activity surely were reflected on enhancing growth characters.
5 Effect of Treating Bougainvillea grabra with Ethrel, Magnesium and Boron on 59 These results are in harmony with those obtained by El- Sayed (2007) and (2010) and Mohamed (2012). 2- Time of Flowering from Planting. Data in Table 1 clearly show that single or combined application of Ethrel, magnesium and boron was significantly very effective in advancing time of flowering in comparison with the check treatment. Application of Ethrel alone or in combinations with magnesium and boron significantly resulted in great promotion on time of flowering relative to using magnesium and or boron without Ethrel. Time of flowering did not alter significantly with varying dates of spraying these materials. The control treatment effectively delayed time of flowering (untreated plants flowered after 41 days from planting during both seasons). Time of flowering was greatly advanced with using Ethrel, magnesium and boron together. Time of flowering (in days) from planting reached 18 days with spraying magnesium, boron and ethrel together at vegetative shoot or flowering shoot stages. These results were true during both seasons. The effect of Ethrel in releasing ethylene which is in turn activating hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes in degradation of chlorophylls (Lavee, 1987) could explain the present results. The beneficial effect of Mg and B on the biosynthesis of plant pigments and carbohydrates could give explanation for the present results (Nijjar, 1985). These results are in harmony with those obtained by El- Sayed (2007) and (2010) and Mohamed (2012). 3- Number of Flowers/Plant. It was significantly enhanced in response to single and combined application of Ethrel, Mg and B in relative to the control treatment. Application of B, Mg and ethrel, in ascending order enhanced number of flowers per plant. Combined application of ethrel, Mg and B gave the best results relative to application of each material alone. The maximum number of flowers per plant (30 and 31 flowers during both seasons) was recorded when using magnesium, boron and ethrel at vegetative shoot stage. The untreated plants produced the lowest values (11 flowers/ plant during both seasons). These results were true during both seasons (Table 1).
6 60 Ahmad Ibrahim Al-Qubaie The benefit of ethrel, Mg and B in enhancing C/ N in favour of transformation of vegetative buds to flower ones (Moor, 1979) could explain the present results. These results are in harmony with those obtained by El- Sayed (2007) and (2010) and Mohamed (2012). Table 1. Effect of using Ethrel, magnesium and boron on some growth and flowering aspects of bougainvillea plants during 2010 and 2011 seasons. Treatments Plant height (cm.) Leaf area (cm 2 ) from planting Time of flowering (days) No. of flowers/ plant Control Spraying 75 ppm Ethrel at vegetative shoots Spraying 75 ppm Ethrel at FS Spraying 0.05 % magnesium sulphate at Spraying 0.05 % magnesium sulphate at FS 1 Spraying % boric acid at Spraying % boric acid at FS Spraying both magnesium and boron at Spraying both magnesium and boron at FS 1 Spraying Mg + B + Ethrel at vegetative shoots Spraying Mg + B + Ethrel at FS New L.S.D at (0.05) FS 1 = Flowering shoot stage with the thorn inflorescence axis developed fully. 4- Percentage of Dropping of Flowers and Leaves. It is evident from the data in Table 2 that foliar application of ethrel, Mg, B either singly or in all combination at flowering shoot stage once gave the highest flowers and leaves dropping in relation to using these materials at stage. Application of ethrel at flowering shoots stage gave the maximum values of dropping. Similar trend was noticed during both seasons.
7 Effect of Treating Bougainvillea grabra with Ethrel, Magnesium and Boron on 61 The great promotion of ACC and ethylene content during flowering shoot stage due to using ethrel surely were reflected on enhancing dropping of flowers and leaves (Moore, 1979). These results are in harmony with those obtained by Weltering (1987); Clark and Kelly (1991) and Ingels (1994). 5- ACC and Ethylene Content: Data in Table (2) reasonably reveal that application of ethrel alone or in combined with both Mg and B at flowering shoots stage significantly was accompanied by enhancing values of ACC and ethylene in relative to using Mg and or B at vegetative shoot stage. Spraying the plants with ethrel at 75 ppm at flowering stage recorded the maximum values of ACC (0.1 g nmole g -1 ) and ethylene (1.41 and 1.43 nl g -1 h -1 during both seasons). The lowest values were recorded on the plants that were sprayed with Mg and or B as well as the untreated plants. These results were true during both seasons. Table 2.

Treatments Flower drop % Leaf drop % ACC content (n mole g -1 ) Ethylene (nl g -1 h -1 ) Control Spraying 75 ppm Ethrel at Spraying 75 ppm Ethrel at FS Spraying 0.05 % magnesium sulphate at Spraying 0.05 % magnesium sulphate at FS 1 Spraying % boric acid at Spraying % boric acid at FS Spraying both magnesium and boron at Spraying both magnesium and boron at FS 1 Spraying Mg + B + Ethrel at Spraying Mg + B + Ethrel at FS New L.S.D at (0.05) FS 1 = Flowering shoot stage with the thorn inflorescence axis developed fully.
8 62 Ahmad Ibrahim Al-Qubaie These results might be attributed to the effect of ethrel in releasing ethylene and other procures. These results are in agreement with those obtained by Hoyer (1995) and Liu and Chang (2011). Finally, spraying bougainvillea glabra plants once at vegetative shoot stage with ethrel at 75 ppm, magnesium sulphate at 0.05 % and boric acid at % is suggested to be beneficial for promoting growth and flowering aspects.
