The competition between two soft wheat species (Tritium aestivum) and wild Oat( Avena fatua) in pure and mixed stands experiments were carried out in pots, green house in College of Science / University of Salahaddin during 1st December 2011 to 7thApril 2012. For wheat plant, the concerned plant characteristics were: plant height, number of tillers/plant, length of flag leaves, length of spikes, number of grains/spike, total shoot dry weight are concerned. For wild Oat the concerned plant characteristics were: Plant height, number of tillers/plant, length of flag leave, length of inflorescence, number of seeds/ inflorescence, total shoot dry weight. The results indicated that in both species the growth characterized and yield components were affected by increasing plant density. The vegetation growth, yield components and competitive ability of wheat was higher in low densities in comparison with wild Oat, while that of wild Oat was in adverse direction. Also plant growth characteristics and competition ability was increased at high density. Wheat had double competitive ability than Oat at extreme high density, while Oat was more competitive than wheat at low density.

In order to determine the dermatophytosis infection in cattle, twenty scraping samples were collected from cattle showed clinical signs of skin disease in different areas in Diyala governorate during a period from November 2012 to May 2013. Results in cattle samples showed that 18 out of 20(90%) were positive for fungal infection. The highest percentage of infection was seen in November (50%), (30%) in February, and the lowest in March (20%). The main fungal species that isolated was Trichophyton verrucosum. A single subcutaneous injection of ivermectin at a dose of 200 microgram/kg. was administered to the affected animals. Recovery was observed after 10 days after injection, started by scales dropping and appearance of the hair. These findings show that ivermectin can be used successfully in the treatment of dermatophytosis in bovine induced by immunopotentiation due to the elevation in the total white blood cells ( lymphocytes) after ivermectin injection.

Frost hardiness level in winter cereals is especially temperature dependent. The low temperature which kills 50% of plants (LT50) is considered to be a standard indicator of frost hardiness level of plant. Frost hardiness is considered the most important parameter for the field survival which is the ultimate measure of winter-hardiness of a cultivar. This study aimed to determine the genetic level of frost hardiness of five Middle Eastern varieties (Abu-Ghraib, Fatah, IPA 95, IPA 99, and Sham 6) in comparison to the European cultivar (Claire). All of the Middle Eastern varieties tested showed very similar LT50’sin the non-acclimated state, whilst when of acclimated they responded in different ways to freezing temperatures. Abu-Ghraib and Claire showed more tolerance than the other cultivars.

Implemented field experiment to grow the crop sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) class Ingath of the autumn season 2012 in the fields of the General Company for Horticulture and Forestry- Zaafaraniya / Ministry of Agriculture , south of Baghdad. In the soil of silty clay according to design were arranged in a split-plot design with three replications, which included major treatment proportions of moisture depletion as added irrigation water after depleting 50%, 70%, 90% of available water to plant, and included secondary plots the depth of the irrigated zone is D1 (0-30 cm) from the beginning of planting to the harvest and the second depth D2 (0-10 cm) from agriculture to the beginning of the vegetative growth stage, then increase depth of irrigated zone (0-20 cm) to the beginning of flowering, and (0-30 cm) to the end of physiological maturity. This experiment is designed to study the effect of the proportions of moisture depletion and the depth of irrigated zone on the plant growth of sorghum and estimate the water consumption of the crop under conditions of Iraq center . Calculated the amount of water added for each irrigate for compensate depletion moisture during the growing season, depending on measurements of the water content weighted method . Estimate the actual water consumption by measuring the water content of the soil after irrigation and before next irrigate on the length of the growing season. Calculate reference evapotranspiration By the Penman- Monteith modified equation . Calculate the crop coefficient (Kc) , the yield response factor (Ky) and field water use efficiency (WUEf) and crop water use efficiency (WUEc) . Has been studying factor of yield of the main results can be summarized that have been obtained, including the following: The highest grains yield (6428) kg.h-1 from at treatment of T1D1, and reached less yield grains (3622) kg.h-1 at treatment of T3D2. The treatment T1D1gave highest bio-yield reached 25.187 ton.h-1and the T3D2 treatment gave the less bio-yield 11.578 ton.h-1 . Moisture depletion treatments , depth of the irrigated zone and the interaction between them didn't have a significant impact on (WUEc , WUEf) , treatment T2D2gave the highest value of WUEc , WUEf reached to (1.06, 1.09) kg of grain.m-3 respectively, while the treatment T3D2given lower value to WUEc , WUEf reached to (0.88, 0.92) kg of grain.m-3, respectively . treatment T3 gave the highest value of yield response factor Ky reached (1.05 to 1.21) for D1 and D2, respectively. This means that these two treatments were more sensitive to the deficit of irrigation from the rest of the other treatments that Ky values have ranged between (0.63 to 0.87).
