Pseudomonas fluorescens and Azotobacter chroococcum and mixture of bacteria are used to induce systemic resistance in barley variety (AL-Bowraq) against barley yellow dwarf virus. The result showed all treatments are effective to reduce the concentration of the virus compared with the control treatment (infested plant only). The most effective treatment was bacteria mixture as it was the highest reading for the value of the absorption at wavelength 405 nm 1.8 Compared with the control treatment, which is the highest reading for the value of the absorption 2.55 nm. This results come matching with the results of field experience as the treatment of bacteria mixture lead significantly to the rest o

To determine the influence of selection on castor bean (Ricinus communis cv. Hindi 21) grown on a saline sodic soil, two experiments were conducted in 2011 and 2012. The first experiment was applied on the Farm of College of Agric./Univ. of Baghdad. It involved planting castor bean in three methods in saline-sodic soil. The second experiment was applied by planting the original cultivar and the new select. Three levels of irrigation water salinity were used; 1.5, 6, and 12 dS.m¹. However, plants of higher salinity did not grow normal, so they were discarded. The results revealed that the new select outyielded the original when it gave 174.3 g plant seed yield. This select char

A field experiment was conducted at the Field Crops Research Station of State Board of Agricultural Research at Abu Ghraib in spring 2015. Seven inbred lines of maize (IK8, ZP, W13R, H.S, IK58, ABS 5, ZP607) were used in this study, using Line x Tester analysis, to produced twenty F1 crosses. The parents and crosses were grown in fall season of 2015 using RCBD with three replicates to determine heterosis and general, specific combining ability effects and gene action. Significant differences were found among parental lines and their crosses for all the traits. The result were showed that the cross (IK8×  IK58) gave the highest hybrid vigor in grain yield (42.46%) and produced highest grain yield 214.7 gm.plant^-1.
