This study was aimed to evaluation of broad leaf  herbicide  season 2022/2023 at this research included two factors, the first: weed pesticides with four levels (control, 2, 4-D, Cranstar and Lintor) and with the recommended concentrations for each herbicide. The second: planting distances: which are 15 and 30 cm between the lines. The research was carried out using within factorial experiments complete randomized block design (RCBD), sowing took place on 11/15/2022, with a seeding rate of (100) kg . h^-1 for Sham 6 cultivar, the herbicides were sprayed by a dorsal sprayer with a capacity of 16 liters on 11/2/2023, and on 3/25/2023 the weed characteristics were studied, and on 5/27/2023 the yield characteristi

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary sesame hulls (SH) on the growth and blood profiles of growing lambs. Twenty-four lambs (initial body weight = 21.8 ± 1.35 kg; age = 75 ± 2.5 days) were randomly assigned to 3 diets. Diets with no SH (CON), 75 g/kg   SH (SH75), or 150 g/kg SH (SH150), for 120 days, with 10 days adaptation period, followed by 110 days for data collection. The dry matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, and metabolizable energy intake were greater in the SH75 and SH150 diets than in the CON diet. Conversely, the group SH150 exhibited the highest values (P < 0.05) of ether extract intake. Lambs fed diets containing SH showed greater final body weigh

A field experiment was conducted during the spring season of 2024 at the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences - University of Baghdad, to study cultivation sustainability of sunflower influenced by nitrogen fertilization and bacterial biofertilization. A split-plot arrangement within randomized complete block design with three replications was used. The main plots received 0, 25, 50 and 75% of recommended nitrogen, while the sub-plots were sown with seeds inoculated with Azotobacter chroococum, Azospirillum brasilense, their mixture and without inoculation, in addition to application of recommended nitrogen fertilization (200 Kg N ha^-1) for later comparison with fertilizer combinations. The Fi

The research aims to study and identify the most important economic and social factors affecting the marketing surplus of wheat farms in Baghdad Province  for the agricultural season 2023 using the regressive regression model. The data were obtained through a questionnaire prepared for this purpose and the study relied mainly on the raw data of a random sample of a total of 150 wheat farmers in the province distributed over the various agricultural units of Baghdad Province. Results showed that the marketing surplus of the wheat in Baghdad province is sold through three channels; the first is marketing to the state by 57%, the second is marketing to wholesal

Hyoscyamus niger have the main pharmaceutical tropane alkaloids and glycosides in their tissues. The study aimed to enhance the biosynthesis of these compounds by tissue culture techniques. Callus cultures were established from leaf explants on MS medium. Three chemical salts were added separately in different concentrations to the culture medium to evaluate their effects on callus growth and content of pharmaceutical compounds. The results demonstrate that copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd) decreased callus weights, while the aluminum (Al) did not exhibit any significant effects, compared to the control treatment. However, the HPLC assay proved that the chemical stress cause

 The current work utilizes the peel and pulp of the Iraqi eggplant to remove Alizarin Red S dye (ARS) from an aqueous solution. The isotherms of adsorption were studied and the factors that the effect them: temperature, the effect of surface nature and effect of ionic strength. The isotherms of adsorption of ARS on the peel were found obey the Freundlich, equation, but the isotherms of adsorption on the pulp were found to obey the Langmuir equation. At different temperatures, the adsorption process was studied, and it was found that when the temperature decreased, the adsorption increased. Based on the data we obtained in practice, the thermodynamic functions (∆H, ∆G, ∆S) were calculated as the process was exothermic, spontan

The (E)-4-chloro-N-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)-5-((8-hydroxy quinolin-5-yl)diazenyl)-2-methoxybenzamide azo ligand (L) has been synthesized through the reaction of diazonium salt for 5-amino-4-chloro-N-(2-(dimethylamino) ethyl)-2-methoxybenzamide with 8-hydroxyquinoline and identified azo ligand (L) using spectroscopic studies (FTIR, UV-Vis, 1H and 13CNMR, mass), and micro-elemental analysis (C.H.N). Metal chelates of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), as well as Zn(II) have been completed as well as characterized using mass spectra, flame atomic absorption, elemental analysis (C.H.N), infrared, UV-Vis spectroscopy, as well as conductivity, magnetic measurements. The metal-to-ligand ratio in all complexes, as determined by analytical data, was 1:2 and ex

Normal thyroid function is essential for neonatal growth and brain development. In a newborn infant with severe disease, endocrine regulation of hormones can be affected by abnormal metabolism. The assessment of thyroid parameters results in the recognition of a dysfunction and its association with disease severity

The approach of the Green and Ampt (1911) for describing water entry into unsaturated porous media was critically appraised .Theoritical revision was made of a previous mathematical approach, to give it complete rigor in describing   water flow for rectangulary abrupt water content profile. Rigorous rederivation of this equation yielded a straightforward and complete interpretation of the suction head at the wet front t_w. The suction head t_w at the wet front is given as the integral of the suction-head- t dependent hydraulic conductivity function K (t) with the upper limit of the integral being the suction head t₀ at the initial water content q₀. Furthermore, t_w is shown to

This study was aimed ot investigate, hybrid vigor and combining ability in some traits of okra.  to during  2021 and 2022 seasons, at private field located in the Mahmoudiya district of Baghdad, using the 7-line × 3 tester method. In the second season, the genotypes (parents and hybrids) were compared  in varietal trait  using  Randomized Complete Block  Design ( RCBD) with three replications. The results revealed significant differences among the parents and crosses for most of studied traits. Hybrids O4×O2 and O10×O3 emerged as standouts, achieving the highest yield in the  plastic house, with yields 927.80 kg and 892.60 kg, respectively. Hybrids O5×O1, O6×O2, and O8×O3 produced the highest numb

The study aimed to investigate the impact of location on the nature of the natural landscape along riverbanks and how the design of this landscape changes based on site-specific variables by establishing a theoretical framework that incorporates the principles of plant element design, considering these influences in the design of urban vegetative scenes. Subsequently, the study seeks to validate this theoretical framework along the banks of the Tigris River in Baghdad, focusing on the case study of Abu Nu’as, a site of cultural and natural significance for the city's residents. Among the key findings of the study is that the efficiency of designing urban vegetative scenes along riverbanks is enhanced through the use of local plant spec

ABSTRACT

The experiment was carried out at southwest Baghdad during fall season 2021 and spring season 2022 on the industrial potato of Arsenal hybrid, and the experiment carried out using randomized complete block design with in split plot arrangement with three replicates (4 × 3 × 3). Bio-fertilizer distributed within main plots and interaction between phosphorus levels and Brassinolide growth regulator within sub plot. Bio-fertilizers included Aspergillus niger fungus alone and Bacillus Megaterium bacteria alone and the combination between them add the control and phosphorus treatment of three levels of 0.100, 200 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1 and Brassinolide spraying of th
