Abstract
The research was conducted on fig trees, black diyala cultivar, at the age of (13) years, planted in one of the orchards affiliated with the General Directorate of Vocational Education / Vocational Section in Diwaniyah Mixed Agricultural Preparatory School / Al-Qadisiyah Governorate for the season 2022. 81 black fig trees were selected, homogeneous in size, height, and growing strength as much as possible. They are planted on dimensions (4 x 4) meters. to study the effect of pruning (0, 25, and 50%) and spraying with gibberellic acid (0, 30, and 60 mg.L−1) and chelated iron (0, 1, and 2 g.L−1) in the nutrient content of leaves of fig trees, Black Diyala cultivar. The experiment was designed according to a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The results showed that the levels of pruning and the concentrations of spraying gibberellic acid and chelated iron on the trees were positive in increasing the leaf content of the nutrients under study compared to the comparison treatment, whether it was single or combined. The treatments P2, G2 and F2 were characterized by giving them the best results, as they recorded 2.57, 2.35 and 2.26% for nitrogen, 0.244, 0.199 and 0.183% for phosphorus, 1.83, 1.66 and 1.60% for potassium, 1.007, 0.925 and 0.890% for calcium, 472.80, 391.00, and 359.95 mg.kg−1 dry matter, respectively.

Abstract
This study was carried out at the research station of the College of Agriculture - University of Anbar during the agricultural season 2021 to study the effect of adding types of organic fertilizer (without addition, poultry waste, manufactured organic fertilizer), which are symbolized by (M0, M1, M2) in sequence.and the combination of one and a half recommendations with spraying with a growth stimulator that contains calcium, boron, zinc, magnesium, amino acids and molybdenum, and it had 6 levels (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6) in the concentration of some elements for strawberry plants. The results show that the organic treatments recorded clear significant differences, especially the poultry manure treatment, which gave the highest values in the ratio (N, P, K) recorded (2.816, 0.48, 2.26) and did not differ significantly with M2 in TSS. M2 gave the lowest nitrate content and acidity (30.34, 0.40). As for the combination of fertilizers with spraying, treatment T3 gave the highest values in (N, P, K, TSS) recorded (2.345, 0.45, 2.07, 7.330) and the lowest acidity (0.41). With regard to the interaction between the two factors of the study, the two treatments, M1T3 and M1T6, recorded superiority in most of the studied traits, and M1T6 did not differ significantly from M2T6 in acidity, while M2T6 recorded the lowest nitrate content.

Abstract
Obtaining callus tissue is one of the essential aims of plant tissue culture technology due to its great importance in subsequent experiments. The present study aimed to determine the interactive effects of plant growth regulators in stimulating calli cultures from the hypocotyl of Phaseolus vulgaris. The study was conducted in the Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory, Desert Studies Center, University of Anbar. Different concentrations of 2,4-D were used, including 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 mg L−1, with concentrations of BA including 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mg L−1. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) was used to obtain sterile seedlings. The seeds were sterilized with four concentrations of 0, 2, 4 and 6% for 5, 10 and 15 min. We use the complete random design (RCD) for coefficient distribution. The results showed the mixture of NaOCl 4.0% for 10 min recorded the highest percentage of sterile seedling production (SSP) at 90%. As for the induction of callus culture, the hypocotyl extracted from sterilized seedlings was grown in MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D and BA concentrations for 21 days. The results showed that the combination 2.0+1.5 mg L−1 caused the highest callus formation response (CFR) by 100%, the lowest complete callus formation (CCF) by 5.80 days, and the highest fresh weight (FW) by 4.318 g. At the same time, the combination of 2.0+2.0 mg L−1 reduced the start of callus formation (SCF) by 3.40 days.

The aim of studying was studying effect of feeding programs and addition high levels of Calcium, phosphorous and vitamin D3 to aged laying hens’ diets on productive performance. In this study, 150-layer hens of Lohmann Brown breed, aged 52 weeks were used in this experiment. Laying hens were distributed randomly to ten treatments with five replicates per treatment (3 hens/replicate) in close system (cages). A completely randomized experimental design with a 2x2x2 factorial arrangement consisting Morning feeding with once time (A1), Evening feeding with twice times equal half (A2) 6 hours difference between the first and second period. Feed Additives (B) included: B1(3000 IU vitamin D3, 3.5% Ca and 0.5% P). B2(5000 IU vitamin D3, 4% Ca and 0.6% P.), B3(5000 IU vitamin D3, 4.5% Ca and 0.7% P), B4 (7000 IU vitamin D3, 4% Ca and 0.6% P), B5 (7000 IU vitamin D3, 4.5% Ca and 0.7% P). During the experimental periods hen’s performance traits included egg production H.D%, egg weights, egg mass, feed consumption, and feed conversion ratio were recorded. The results of statistical analysis showed that no effect of feeding programs A1 and A2 on productive performance which included egg production (H.D %), egg weight, egg mass, feed consumption and feed conversion ratio.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The study aimed to effect of speed and die holes diameter in the machine on feed pellets quality. In this study was measured pellet direct measurement (%), pellet lengths (%), pellet durability (%) and pellet water absorption (%). Three die speeds 280, 300, and 320 rpm, three diameters of die holes in the machine 3, 4, and 5 mm, have been used. The results showed that increasing the pellet die speeds from 280 to 300 then to 320 rpm led to a significant decrease in direct measurement, pellet durability, and pellet water absorption was increased, whereas it did not significantly affect the pellet lengths. Increasing the die holes diameter from 3 to 4 then to 5 mm led to a significant decrease in the pellet direct measurement, pellet lengths, pellet durability, and increased pellet water absorption. Pellet die speeds of 280 rpm and the die holes diameter of 3 mm recorded the highest direct measurement 95.61%, pellet lengths 86.30%, pellet durability 93.45%, and less pellet water absorption 15.74%. The minimum die speed and die holes diameter gave the highest pellet direct measurement, pellet lengths, pellet durability and lowest pellet water absorption with all the considered indicators.

Abstract
To fix and detect some value of genetic selection parameters for hens of local chicken differ in growth hormone GH gene polymorphisms, PCR-RFLP technique used with MSP restriction enzyme, three genotype found as AA the wild, AB the heterosis and the mutant BB. Results of some genetic analysis indicating that based on breeding value BV for AA genotype was the highest one 79.913 for body weight at sexual maturity and 1.736 for average age at sexual maturity and 4.373, 5.894 and 0. 438 for average egg product at 100 days and average egg weight at 27 and 34 weeks respectively for the seam AA hens’ genotype. The lowest value for dominant deviation DD was 0.298 for traits of average first egg weight, for body weight at sexual maturity was – 6.659 and – 5.58 for average age at sexual maturity and 0.012 for average egg weight at 20 weeks and 0.042 for average egg weight at 34 weeks for hens with BB genotype. AB genotype was low in trait for average egg weight at 27 and 34 weeks with value of 8.044 and – 0.08 respectively. In conclusion molecular procedure result indicating that depending on some molecular genetic parameters RFLP for such gene of relation with productive performances and BV includes some genetic variances as DD, DV and VA and GV are good tools used in selection programs for local hen’s chicken either if their genotype is with one or two copies of allele A in order to achieve the best genetic group in the way of improving production efficiency for Iraqi local chickens.
