This research was conducted at Grdarsha Field, College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, Salahaddin University, Erbil with a GPS reading of (Latitude: 36° 4’ N and Longitude: 44° 2’ E- elevation 415 Meters above sea level). The factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design using three replicates was done to study the influence of three levels (0, 200, and 400 mg L-1) of each of Zinc and Manganese as foliar application and their combination on their concentration, uptake and fatty acids profile in flaxseed. The results indicate that the Zinc application effect on Zn and Mn concentration with values (0.0032 and 0.0068) % in the treatment (Zn200 and Mn200) additionally caused an increase in the uptake for the two micronutrients in Zn400 and Mn200 with values (15.74 and 14.90) mg plant-1. The treatment combination Zn200 Mn400 caused an increase in palmitic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic acid while the treatment combination of Zn400 Mn200 gained the lowest value. Cluster analysis or dendrogram classified the combination of the two micronutrients Zn and Mn into four main clusters depending on Zn, Mn and the fatty acids profile. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) shows the angle value between each of the fatty acids and between the two micronutrients is ≤ 90 º which means there was a significant correlation between them and vice versa. There is a very high correlation between linoleic acid & linolenic and F6 while F7 correlated with oleic, stearic and palmitic acid for the vectors for studied traits.

The present research is a scientific documentation of a historical environmental event, which is the invasion of two species of non-native (exotic) aquatic plants for the Tigris River flowing in Mosul city center near Al-Dandan water purification plant. One of them is Azolla filiculoides Lam., a fern belonging to the family Salviniaceae, the other being Hydrilla verticellata (L. f.) Royle, a monocotyledons plant belonging to the family Hydrocharitaceae. The most important morphological characteristics of both species’ vegetative parts enable their identification. Morphological examination of H. verticellata leaf, revealed that it is monoecious biotype like that found in the states of America which are located in the northern latitudes, and not dioecious like the type found in southern latitudes states. It is recommend from the relevant specialists to monitor these two species and study the possibility of their conversion to invasive plants, It is also recommended from them to studying their impacts on the aquatic life of the river. Aim of the present study is to document the invasion of two alien hydrophytes to Tigris river that flow within Mosul city, North of Iraq.

To study the effect of feeding two different types of green fodder (Panicum or Alfalfa) on carcass characteristics after a period of ninety days of fattening, twenty-four Arabi lambs were used and divided into three groups: the first group (control) was fed a standard ration with an outing to grazing. The second and third groups reared on the standard ration with Panicum or Alfalfa, respectively. It was found from the results of the statistical analysis of the study data that there was a significant superiority between the two groups of Alfalfa and Panicum (P≤0.05) in live body weight, hot and cold carcass weights, and the percentage of weight at slaughter and the empty weight compared to the control group. While the weight of the tail fat decreased significantly in the Panicum group lambs carcasses compared to the control groups, a significant decrease (P≤0.05) was recorded in abdominal fat and a significant increase in the rib eye area of the Panicum group. While the muscle weight was significantly increased when performing a physical dissection of the three ribs of lamb carcasses fed on Panicum. In general, the two groups of Alfalfa and Panicum excelled in most carcass characteristics, and the lambs of the Panicum group recorded the best carcass traits.

Two breeds of goats are native to Kurdistan region- Iraq, namely mountainous black goat is raised mainly for meat and milk production, and Meriz which is raised primarily for hair beside meat and milk. The two breeds were exposed over a long period of time to the vigorous and sever semi-dry conditions, drought, feed shortage and prevailing diseases. Hence their adaptation to such conditions was at the expense of important economic traits. From the limited work available for both breeds, it seems that Meriz characterized by smaller size than did black goat, and daily gain in weight is rather low for the two breeds being 0.068-0.140 kg. it seems that black goat in particular have a potential for improvement of milk yield because display over whelming range (127-189 L.). In general, fertility and prolificacy are rather low in black goat and an improvement of the reproductive performance was achieved by hormonal treatment and /or flushing and studies on semen traits revealed that bucks are seasonal breeders especially in Meriz. However, the two breeds are not well characterized and much work is needed to explore the potential of those breeds for economic traits.

Nanoparticle foliar spray is a new approach and effective for improving seedling growth and survival with adverse conditions such as salt stress. The current study was conducted to investigate the impact of commercial silicon dioxide (SiO2), SiO2 nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs), commercial chitosan (CS), CS nanoparticles (CS NPs) on growth, proline, antioxidant defense enzyme, and ions content in one-year-old for sour orange (Citrus aurantium, L.) and Volkamer lemon (Citrus volkameriana) rootstocks grown under salinity stress. In the current study, a foliar spray of bulk SiO2, SiO2 NPs, Chitosan, and Chitosan NPs with a concentration of 50 ppm was applied at 0 and 50 mM of NaCl concentrations. Vegetative growth was determined, including plant height, stem diameter, leaf area, roots, and total fresh and dry weights. The findings demonstrated that salinity adversely affected plant growth. Salt-stressed plant leaves exhibited greater peroxidase (POD) activity and proline content than the control treatment, and Na+ and Cl- ions accumulated in the leaves of salinized plants. Nano-Silicon dioxide and Nano-chitosan significantly increased full vegetative growth parameters and antioxidant defense enzymes. Nano treatments decreased Na+ and Cl- ions content in the leaf tissue. Finally, as a result SiO2 NPs and CS NPs are employed as part of a combined approach to increase the growth indices of citrus plants, especially achieving a significant impact in alleviating salinity stress.
