Abstract

This research was conducted in the growing season at an orchard at the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering Sciences in the Summel district of the Duhok governorate (Kurdistan region- Iraq) (2022) to examine the effects of basin irrigation, DAP supply, and Max-Gro foliar spray, and fish basin irrigation on the vegetative development and leaf nutritional content of three-year-old plum trees cv.Samarra. The experiment included three factors, the first one is type of water (fish basin water and Tap water), the second factor is soil supply with DAP fertilizer (N 18% and P 46%) (0, 50 and 100 g/tree) and the third factor is trees spray with three concentrations of organic liquid fertilizer (0, 2 and 4 ml. L^-1). The experimental units were set up as a split-split plots experiment using a factorial experiment (2*3*3) in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Here is a summary of the findings: The features of vegetative development were enhanced by irrigation (Single Leaf area (cm2 /plant),Increment in stem diameter (cm), Increment in number of secondary branches ,Number of leaves per branch, Leaf dry matter (%),of plum trees with fish water. The application of DAP plum trees significantly increased all studied parameters (increased leaf area, shoot number, shoot length, stem diameter, number of secondary branches, and number of leaves per branch) as well as the nutrients concentrations in leaves foliar applications of Maxi-Gro
