A field experiment was conducted through 2010-2011 in the experimental field return to AlKut forest project near the Tigris river\ General Directorate of Horticultural and Forestry at Wasit governorate. The purpose of this research is to know the response of four cultivars of Sesame to Foliar nutrition with Boron. R.C.B.P. were used with split plot in four Replications including main plot cultivars, Ishtar, Babel, Al-Rafidain, local. While sub-plot included four concentrations of boron (0,50,100, 150) mgb/L-1. The result showed that Al-Rafidain was superior in the average of plant height and % of oil over all cultivars, while the local cultivars gave higher average of number of branches for plant and the highest first capsule from the surface of soil. As for Ishtar cultivars was superior in capsule per plant, number of seeds per capsule, and the weight of 1000 seeds, that was reflected on giving the highest yield of seeds per plant in comparison with the others for each season. And the results showed no significant differences between the cultivars in Boron concentration in leafs. The concentration of 150 mgb/L-1 gave the highest average in all characteristics that was studied, except that of the farness of the first capsule which was the highest value in control. While no any effect of boron in the weight of 1000 seeds for each season. The interaction between the cultivars and concentration was significant in all characteristics except the weight of 1000 seeds and the concentration of boron in leaf for each season, and the highest yield of seeds when spraying the cultivars Ishtar with Boron in 50 mgb/ L-1 concentrate was1450.23 and 1616.47Kg.h-1. While the local cultivars gave with control (water spraying only) the lowest yield of seed 866.85 and 927.76Kg.h-1 for each season. We concluded from this research there is a response for sesame cultivars for foliar spraying with boron and an enhancement in plant performance with the increase of boron .Therefore, we recommend to apply more researches on cultivar Ishtar and boron spraying with 150 mgb/L-1.concentrate.
A field experiment was conducted during winter, 2015-16 with the objective to investigate the effect of bread wheat cultivars (Abu-Ghraib3, Ibaa99, and Alfeteh) and seed priming 100, 100, 150 mg L-1 of benzyl adenine, salicylic acid, gibberellic acid (GA3), respectively, ethanolic extract of Salix Sp., water extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra and distilled water (control) on grain growth rate (GGR), effective filling period (EFP) and accelerating of physiological maturity. Randomized complete block design with three replicates was applied. GA3×Ibaa99 surpassed others in grain yield (7.432 tonne ha-1) when gave the highest grain weight (45.13 mg grain-1) and GGR (1.5 mg grain-1 day-1) with the fastest time to start and end EFP (5 and 34 days), w

To investigate the effect of spraying some plant extraction and anti-oxidants on growth and yield of two cultivars of sunflower, a field experiment was conducted during fall season of 2009 and spring season of 2010 at the Experimental Farm, Department of Field Crop Science, College of Agriculture/ University of Baghdad. RCBD with three replications as factorial at two factors was used. First factor was cultivars Akmar and Shmoss, second was spraying with extraction of karkade at 25%, liquorices at 50%, vitamin C at concentration 1.5 mg.l-1 and nutrient which content 15 elements at concentration 15 % in addition to control treatment which sprayed with distilled water only. The result showed no significant differences between the two cultivar

A field experiment was carried out at the research station of the College of Agriculture - Wasit University / Kut, during the fall season 2021 in soil with texture (sandy mixture) using the RCBD design in the arrangement of splintered plates and with three replications, to study the effect of spraying different combinations of organic emulsion (Appetizer) and NPK nano fertilizer with urea fertilizer on the growth of synthetic cultivars of yellow corn. The main panels included three synthetic varieties of yellow corn (Fajr1, Sumer and Baghdad3), which symbolized by (V1,V2,V3) in sequence, while the secondary panels included five fertilization treatments in which mineral fertilizer (urea) was used 46% nitrogen with the full recomme
