Abstract

This study was conducted at the research center and the agricultural experiments - College of Agriculture - University of Kirkuk – Iraq during the growing seasen 2017-2018, to study the effect of foliar application of Bio fertilizer and Seaweed Extract on the growth and yield of two cultivars of strawberry (Fragria x ananassa Duch.) with three levels of Bio fertilizer (0 , 2 and 4gr.L-1 ) and three levels of Seaweed Extract (0 , 2 and 4ml.L-1 ) with two cultivars of strawberry (Robegames and Sweet Charlie) and the effect of interactions of studded factors on growth and yield characteristics. A factorial experiment with three replications was carried out using a Randomized Complete Block Design ( R.C.B.D.) and obtained data were statistically analyzed by using (SAS V. 9.0) system , and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test at P> 0.05used to compared the means of treatments. The results obtained in this experiment could be summarized as follows:-1-The variety Rubygem dominated significant on Sweet Charlie in leaf area, but Sweet Charlie dominated significantly on size of fruits, TSS rate and Anthocyanin.2-Foliar application of Fulzyme caused significant increase in (leaf area, chlorophyll contents, weight and size of fruit,TSS, Anthocyanin and vitamin C. 3-Foliar application of FoliaStim Ultra caused significant increase in leaf area, chlorophyll contents, average weight and fruit size, The TSS, Anthocyanin and vitamin C. 4-The bi-interaction on treatments between the investigated factors showed a positive effect in growth, flowers and yield characteristics.5-The results of triple interaction between foliar application by humic and boron and strawberry. showed a significant effect in growth, flowers and yield characteristics
