This study was implemented in the Horticultural Field, College of Agric. and forestry, Mosul Univ.,
Iraq, during the growth seasons (2021/2013, 2013/2014) to study the effect of humic acid and some seaweed
extracts on vegetative growth traits of two pea cultivars (Mezza Rama & Little Marvel) . The study
compromised 10 treatments (the control , adding H.A. to the soil at conc. ( 2gm / l.), spraying seaweed extracts
Algaren and ALG 6000 at conc. (2cm3/l.) for each one, spraying a mixture of the two extract at conc.(1.5cm3 /
l. Algaren + 1.5cm3 / l. ALG 6000) in the two mentioned cultivars (5×2). Humic acid was added in three times
(before sowing , after 30 and 60 days from sowing) , whereas seaweed extracts were sprayed three times after
(40, 95 , 125 ) days from sowing. The experimental design was Randomize Complete Block Design with three
replications. The obtained results indicated that : The significant superiority of most fertilization treatments
upon the control treatment in trait of weight dry roots . A significant and greatest values in most mineral
content traits of leaves and seed was registered by adding H.A. to the soil with exception of ( N % in the leaves
and seeds in both seasons) . The two pea cultivars exhibited variation in mineral content of leaves and seeds .
where Mezza Rama cv. was superior in traits of (P % of leaves in the 1st. season . K % of leaves and N % of
seeds in the 2nd. Season . K % of seeds in both seasons) and Mezza Rama cv. was superior in trait of weight
dry roots in both seasons . Whereas the Little Marvel cv. was the best in (N % of leaves in the 2nd season . P
% of seeds in the two seasons) . The interaction treatments between adding H.A. to the soil with both Mezza
Rama cv. &Little Marvel cultivars had the highest significant effect in most mineral content traits of leaves ,
seeds and trait of weight dry roots in both seasons .

This study was carried out in the cold room at a private orchard in Sada & Baweza in Mosul. Two local cultivars
"Bashiqi" and "Khastawe" were used., green fruits were harvested before it began to coloring. The fruits harvested
from olive trees, 10 years old for both cultivars, on 15/10/2017 (green fruits). After the process of sorting, cleaning
and washing with water to remove dust from them, and exclude the affected fruits and the small fruits, and left to
dry, then subjected the fruits to the precooling in the cold room at 12 C˚ for the entire day, and then extracted and
weighed in a sensitive balance, the green (1 kg) per sample. Then the fruits were packed in perforated polyethylene
bags and non-perforated, tightly tied, and stored in the cold room randomly at 6 ±1 C˚ and relative humidity 85-90
%. The two cultivars didn‘t differ significantly in weight loss, soluble solids, and decayed fruits, while the highest
percentage of oils was in the cultivar "Bashiqi,. The percentage of violet colored fruits of cv. "Khastawe" fruits
reached 100%, but not in "Bashiqi" fruits. The weight loss of fruits in non-perforated bags was significantly lower
than fruits in perforated bags, also fruits were significantly superior in non-perforated bags than fruits in perforated
bags in total soluble solids. Packaging the fruits in perforated bags significantly reduced the percentage of decayed
fruits. There were no significant differences between the method of packaging in the oil percentage of the fruits.
Weight loss increased steadily as storage period prolonged, and the highest was in fruits which stored for 70 days,
while total soluble solids was the lowest at the same storage period i.e. 70 days. Prolonging storage period to 70
days resulted in an increase in decayed percent of fruits, while significantly highest oil percent was in 30 days
stored fruits. The less of loss weight was for fruits cultivar "Khastawe" that packaged in non-perforated bags stored
for 30 days which gave the higher ratio of TSS, while oil percent was the best in "Bashiqi" cv. Fruits which
packaged in non-perforated bags for 30 days. Highest colouration of fruits was was of "Khastawe" cv. Fruits
packaged in perforated bags for 70 days.

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of biochar as soil conditioner on soil physical and
chemical properties. Biochar which locally produced from agricultural residues has been added
by 2,4,6, and 12% to two different soil textures (loamy sand and clay loam). The study showed a
positive effect of adding biochar to the two soils under studied. The water holding capacity of
loamy sand soil was increased with values of 3.16,7.69,12.21and 20.36 to the ratios of addition
of biochar 2,4,6 and 12% respectively compared with the control treatment. The addition of
biochar to clay loam soil also increase the water holding capacity as 1.9,4.28,5.71and 15.71 to
the ratios of addition of biochar 2,4,6 and 12% respectively compared with the control treatment.
The addition of biochar also has positive effect in reducing the bulk density and increasing
porosity of the soils, and the results showed that the positive effect was more effective in sandy
loam soils. In additions biochar important role in improving the properties of soils and especially
sandy soils, where it works. to reduce the infiltration rate of soil and help to catch and hold it
within the root zone and thus contribute to increasing the efficiency of the rationalization use of
irrigation water and the treatment of desertification

In this study, a map has been prepared showing the appropriate value of wheat crop
cultivation with three levels by adopting some soil properties. The aim of this study was to
prepare reliable appropriate maps can be adopted in the future to estimating the quantity of seeds
needed, economic costs to establishing a successful agricultural operation within the target land
in this study so that there is no waste of time and effort. Thus, this type of map remains within
the framework of open studies that can be to add, edit and accumulate information. We selected
area that represents Nineveh governorate for preparation maps of Agro-Ecological Zones maps
of Nineveh. The choice of wheat was because it is a strategic agricultural crop known in the
central and northern regions of the country, especially in the Nineveh governorate. The work has
been divided into several different paths; the purpose is to include as much land coverage as
possible that can be contained according to the leading roads to it and land uses. It included
information, observations related to plant, cultivated crops, type of soil, climatic conditions,
agriculture processes, land use, the prevailing irrigation system (rainfed, irrigated), type of soil
to prepare the agro-ecological zones, then took soil samples from different areas of the
governorate then analyzed them. Thus, we estimated acidity degree, electrical conductivity,
gypsum and gypsum, as well as soil texture. We then found an appropriate value for each of the
properties mentioned.

A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the growth and seed production of wild Oat (
Avena fatua L.) which had grown under different environmental condition . The study included
two factors . The first was wild Oat seed depth in soil at (4 , 8 ) cm. while the second factor date
of spraying treflan herbicide (directly , after 1 week , after 2 week , after 4 week , after 6 week ,
after 8 week ). The results showed that the seeds burial in soil at 4 cm. depth had supperpass
significantly in all charecters compared with other seed depth in soil at 8 cm. depth. On other
hand , grown after 8 week from spray treflan gave a good results in percentage of emergence and
less effects, while , grown after 4 week from spray treflan had significant in high plant , number
of tillers , number of leaves dry weight per plant and seed production . The interaction between
seeds depth in soil at 4 cm. depth with grown after 8 week from spray treflan gave high
percentage of emergences and less effects , while the interaction between seeds burial in soil at 4
cm. depth with grown after 4 week from spray treflan gave high plant , number of tillers ,
number of leaves , dry weight per plant and high seed production compared with other
treatment.

A field experiment of the 2017 agricultural season was carried out using the RCBD by three replicates the
first factor tested the bio-fertilization using Azotobacter Chroococum, Bacillus Megatherium, Bacillus
Circulars, consisting of eight levels (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7 and T8) with three levels of mineral fertilizer
(NPK) were added as recommended by the Ministry of Agriculture, with no addition of mineral fertilizers
and (F2) A complete recommendation of the samurai that included 40 kg p2o5 / e in a triple superphosphate
and 40 k (42% K) and added at planting and 50 kg N / e urea added on two halves at planting and the other
half after one month of cultivation in the growth and yield of y maize plant CADZ Spanish. The results
showed a significant effect when adding fertilizer The highest value of the number of grains in the cloves and
the weight of 500 grains and the grain yield in the unit area were treated with T8F2 interference, which gave
a significant increase rate (99.27, 167.74%), (16.11 and 17.57%), And 97.59 and 96.86%, respectively, for
Yaiji and Lilian sites. While in the recipe of harvesting, the highest rate of treatment T5F2 was 49.11%
compared to the control treatment of the site Yaiji.

Afield experiment was carried out at two location the firest is in Agriculture college of Mosul the
second is in Faidah/Sumell/ Duhok governorate in 2012-2013 to study the effect of two irrigation
system i.e ( rain fall only; supplemental irrigation with rain fall) on yield , yield components, and
grain physiochemical properties of six bread wheat varieties (Tamoz/2,Ez/66, Abu-ghraeb/3,
Telafar/3 Cham/6 and Iba’a/99) Afield experiment was carried out at two sites using split plot in
RCBD design .The results showed the supplementary irrigation did not affect yield components and
physiochemical properties of grain at both location except grain yield (gm/m2) in both location, wet
gluten in Faidah and test weight in Mosul. Most varieties differed significantly in yield characters
and its components, Cham\6 is the better in grain yield in two locations .The varieties differ
significantly in protein ,ash percentage ,and in test weight in Faidah location and in all
physiochemical characteristics accept wet gluten percentage in Mosul . The interaction between
irrigation regime and varieties affect all yield characters and its components in Mosul location and
physiochemical characteristics except oil and carbohydrate percentage in Faidah and wet gluten
percentage in Mosul.
