A field experiment was carried out during two winter season 2013, 2014 at the field of the Department of Field Crops, College of Agriculture, University of Baghdad, to study the effect of seeds soaking with Gibberellic acid and foliar with Abscisic Acid on the growth, yield, and content of Anise oil seeds using factorial experiment within RCBD design with three replicates. The seeds was treated within GA₃ were soaked with two concentrations of  30, and 60 mg. litter^-1 in addition to without soaking and the code has been B₀ , B₁ , B₂ overlapped these transactions with two concentrations of Abscisic Acid  3, and 6 mg. litter^-1 in addition to without foliar

Some Limnological features (electrical conductivity, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, water temperature, light penetration, turbidity, nutrients NO₂, NO₃, PO₄) were used in current study to monitor Al-Hammar marsh (Al-Naggarah and Al-Burgah) south of Iraq monthly sampling for one year. The mean range of the following limnological parameters were recorded: water temperature ranged between 11.1 to 33 C˚, electrical conductivity ranged between 2453.3 to 6100 µs/cm, salinity ranged from 1.16 to 3.3 ‰, pH ranged between 7 – 8.6, water depth ranged between 0.7 to 1.9 m, light penetration ranged from 70 to 200 cm, dissolved oxygen ranged from 3.67 to 10.03 mg/l, NO₂ ranged from 0.11 to 3.

This experiment was conducted at the research farm of the College of Agriculture, University of Duhok, Iraq Kurdistan Region season of 2015-2016. Irrigation treatments include (Rainfed, 50% and 100% of field capacity). with three broad wheat varieties (IPA-95, Abu-Graib and Sham-4) cultivated by application the (AquaCrop) model. Wheat varieties of IPA-95 and Abu-Graib-3 consistently resulted in higher yields than Sham-4 variety, the highest grain yield of 3.872 t. ha^-1 was recorded by IPA-95 variety. Highest grain yield of 3.78 t.ha^-1 was obtained from Total Field Capacity. The biomass varied from 12.162, 12.214 and 13.056, 11.591 and 11.211 to 11.866 t.ha^-1 for measured and simulated values.

Corn seeds (Zea mays L.) 5018 (produced office of agricultural research/ ministry of agriculture) were sows in Aug. 2014 with Six seeds in each pot then five plant were removed after one week from the growth. Completely Randomized Block Design (CRD) was used and three levels of partial acidulated phospha

The wheat crop consider one of the main important crops in the world, and it is occupied the first order in importance, it is one of the winter grains crop in Iraq, and the Iraqi family cannot leave it because its nutritional gains besides its economic importance. The agricultural policies those follow by the government are influence positively or negatively on the agricultural production; therefore we should focus on evaluating these consequences. The  study aims estimating the demand and supply functions for the wheat crop in Iraq and  analyzing the stability in equilibrium  system of  the demand and supply for the crop during the period (1971-2013), besides evaluating consequences of  the agricultural
