This study aims to assess the microleakage value under orthodontic brackets after three distinct enamel surface preparations and compare the results to the traditional procedure. Fifty-four intact upper premolars were randomly distributed into three groups. First group 18 teeth etched with 36% phosphoric acid Dentsply. Second group 18 teeth etched with %1.23 acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) incorporated phosphoric acid 25%APF 75%phosphoric acid Dentsply. Third group 18 teeth etched with Trans Bond TM Plus Self-Etching prime 3M Unitek, Monrovia, USA. Then, according to the manufacturer's instructions, all groups bonded to stainless steel brackets RAZOR, IOS, USA, using light-cured composite 3M Unitek/ Monrovia, USA. Then, each subgroup was divided into 3 subgroups, 6 teeth each. The first subgroup thermocycled 500 cycles between 5 C and 55 UC in deionized water and tested after 24 hours of water storage. The second subgroup was also thermocycled and tested after 2 months of water storage. The third subgroup was subjected to cyclic acid attack for 2 months by an acidic solution pH=2.5. Microleakage was evaluated using a dye penetration technique. All samples are sectioned and evaluated under a stereomicroscope. For statistical analysis, the Kruskal-Wallis test was employed. P=0.05 was the level of significance. A significant difference was between etching groups following a thermocycler and a twenty-four-hour water storage, no significant difference after thermocycling and two months of water storage, and significant difference at the occlusal side and between overall means of compared etching groups. This study revealed that the highest microleakage values were in the SEP self-etch prime group, then EF 1.23% APF incorporated phosphoric acid group and the ER 36% phosphoric acid group. The gingival side had more microleakage than the occlusal side. Adding around 20-25 percent of 1.23 percent of phosphoric acid for enamel preparation before orthodontic bonding increases microleakage values, but SEP remains the highest.

They included them in various trial experiments and estimations of the general and specific combining ability and gene action of the traits studied. The results showed highly significant differences in the mean square deviations for the double-crosses in all the studied traits. Inbred lines 6, 4 and 1 showed the highest general combining ability with the desired direction on fruit diameter and plant yield, respectively. Also, the double cross hybrids of order S1x2, t(23)(..), t(2.)(6.) showed the highest effect of the specific combining ability to combine on plant yield. Therefore, the effects of the specific combining ability are more important than the effects of the general combining ability in most of the studied traits, including the plant yield, referring to the importance of the dominant genet action and the dominant × dominant in the inheritance of these traits.

The results of the field survey conducted in the fields of eggplant plants in the province of Babylon showed the presence of root rot in the eggplant in all areas covered by the field survey. Several types of fungi were isolated and identified from the roots of eggplant plants infected with root rot disease. The most frequent pathogenic fungi were Fusarium solani, Rhizoctonia solani, and Macrophomina phaseolina. The results showed that all tested fungi isolates were pathogenic and caused a significant reduction in the percentage of germination of cabbage and eggplant seeds. The results of the pot experiment showed that all the treatments that included the biological factor and aqueous Acacia extract had a significant effect in reducing the growth of pathogenic fungi, especially when the treatments were combined, as measured by the percentage of infection and the severity of infection in the treatment of pathogenic fungi F. solani, R. solani and M. phaseolina, Alone, the infection rate was 100.00%, and the severity of the infection was 76.67, 70.00 and 66.67%, respectively. The treatment of integration between the biological factor T. harzianum and the aqueous extract of Acacia achieved high superiority in reducing the infection rate, as it ranged between 11.11-24.33% and the severity of infection 4.44-15.00%.

To study the effect of adding vermicompost and ammonium sulfate fertilizers and batches on the yield and quality of summer squash, nitrogen fertilizer was added at three levels (100%, 0, 50%) from the fertilizer recommendation (0, 80, 160) kg N ha-1 (N0, N1, N2). ), using ammonium sulfate fertilizer containing (21% N) and organic fertilizer (vermicompost) were added at three levels (0, 5, 10) Mg ha-1 (V0, V1, V2) respectively, fertilizers were added in two batches after (10, 20) days of planting and three batches after (10,20 and 40) days of planting. The first batch was added after 10 days of planting. The concentration (N and P) in the fruits were measured, the amount of the total yield, the percentage of protein, the percentage of total soluble solids (TSS) and fruit hardness. The results showed the significant effect of adding vermicompost and ammonium sulfate fertilizers, the number of batches on the amount of nitrogen and phosphorous absorbed in the fruits, the total yield, the percentage of protein in the fruits, the percentage of total soluble solids (TSS) and the hardness of the fruits. The treatment P2V2N1 excelled and gave the highest amount of nitrogen absorbed in the fruits, which was 1995 kg N ha-1. Phosphorous absorbed in the fruits amounted to 172.10 kg P ha-1 and the highest total yield reached 21.53 Mg ha-1 . The percentage of protein in the fruits amounted to 36.63%, the percentage of total soluble solids TSS amounted to 4.90%, and the hardness of the fruits amounted to 10.27 B. From this, we conclude that by adding nitrogen fertilizer at the first level (N1) (80 kg N ha-1 ) and organic fertilizer (V2) (10 Mg ha-1 ) and in two batches (P2) we got the highest yield and the highest qualitative traits of hardness, protein percentage and TSS. Thus, we conclude that the organic fertilizer improved the qualitative traits, gave the highest yield and compensated for a part of the mineral fertilizer.
