Different amounts of water (150, 300 and 400) ml/polyethylene bag and irrigation intervals (two different scales are considered, once per week and once per two weeks) were used in addition to different amounts of NPK (zero (control), 500, 1000 ppm). Multi‐measurements and strategy was utilized for measuring stem length, stem diameter, root length, root diameter, moisture content, stem wet weight, stem dry weight, root wet weight, root dry weight and shoot root ratio. The results showed that bay seedlings had significantly affected by water amount (150ml) as well as water period (once per two weeks). Water deficit is therefore more commonly limiting seedlings growth than NPK through growing season. Therefore, sensitivity of bay seedlings to limitation water has indicated that decreasing in stem length, stem diameter, number of leaves, root diameter, moisture content, stem wet weight, stem dry weight, root wet weight, root dry weight and root shoot ratio (12.56cm, 3.35mm, 17, 3.66mm, 3.67%, 5.42g, 5.59g, 5.96g, 4.99g, 0.05). However, seedlings with three interaction (450ml, once/week and 1000ppm) had displayed significant differences through stem length, number of leaves, root diameter, moisture content, stem wet weight, stem dry weight, and root wet weight, root dry weight and root shoot ratio (28.16cm, 29, 6.57mm, 19.33%, 11.85g, 8.35g, 8.10g, 6.26g, 1.37 respectively). It is concluded that Laurus nobilis seedlings could not success in this area, especially under low water availability.

Sixteen male rats divided into four Groups (4 animals each), Group 1: untreated rat (control). Group 2: burn rats infected with K. pneumoniae (1.5×108 bacteria /ml). Group 3: burn treated by Green tea aqueous extract (1000 µg/ml) for K. pneumoniae bacteria. Group 4: burn treated by black tea extract (2000 µg/ml) for K. pneumoniae bacteria. The tea extracts antimicrobial activity was analyzed by agar diffusion inhibition assay and minimum inhibitory concentration. Results exhibited that K. pneumoniae in particular, have high levels of antimicrobial resistance to widely used agents. In conclusion hot extract from both types of tea have better antibacterial effect than cold extract. Additionally, infected rats showed inflammation and sever hemorrhage in the liver and kidney of rats, but when treated with tea extracts dermally approximately restored kidney normal histological architecture of glomeruli and tubules, also liver became nearly normal in histological structure of hepatic foci and central vein. Black tea extract showed greater effectiveness in tissue recovery than green once.

The second part included (9) paragraphs For the axis of a For biotechnologies to measure the level of use of modern agricultural techniques in the field of biotechnology, and to achieve honesty, the form was first presented to a group of agricultural extension experts to achieve the validity and experts in the Department of Plant Protection to achieve the validity of content, the method used Alphcronbach to measure the realibity of (0.97) The results of this study indicate that most of the respondents do not know this type of fertilizers because of the lack of availability in the market, because farmers are not satisfied with the results of their use, It is concluded that most farmers do not know that mixing the pesticide with a chemical pesticide increases its effectiveness because biocides are used as a chemical pesticide. Systemic pesticides do not kill insects quickly. The researcher recommended that the agricultural extension system should carry out learning activities to cultivate the tomato crop in plastic tunnels in all fields of study.

A fourth site was chosen for the purpose of comparison at the end of Aldanfeeli Valley where the cultivated soil was watered with water of the Tigris River before the confluence of the River Valley. In addition to estimating the concentrations of heavy metals (Zn, Cd, Pb, Cu, Fe) in both water and soils, the present study aimed to identify some chemical and physical properties of the soils, namely: electrical conductivity, pH, organic matter, calcium carbonate, cations and anions, soil texture, and specific gravity. Despite the fact that the waters of Aldanfeeli Valley are poor for agricultural purposes in terms of salinity and total concentrations of both chloride and half of sulphate ions, the results showed that all soils do not suffer from the problems of salinity and alkalinity. Regarding the concentrations of heavy elements (Zn, Pb, Cd, Cu, Fe), their averages in the cultivated soils (23.86, 5.98, 75.14, 7.53 and 140.18) p.p.m. respectively, were higher than their counterparts in non-cultivated ones (18.70, 5.47, 36.82, 6.17 and 114.63) p.p.m. respectively. All soil samples especially the cultivated ones indicated higher concentrations than those of the irrigation waters (6.47, 4.87, 8.87, 2.27 and 7.07 p.p.m. respectively. The iron recorded at all sites higher means when compared to the rest elements. These were (140.18 and 114.63) p.p.m. in both the cultivated and noncultivated soils respectively. In both the second and the third sites of the cultivated soils; lead concentration averages of (114.25 and 91.06) μg g-1 respectively, have exceeded its standard limit (50 μg g-1); whereas, cadmium concentration averages in these two sites were (8.23 and 6.88) μg g-1 respectively, have exceeded its critical limit (5 μg g-1).

Miski, aged one year which were grafted on Apricot seedlings. Magnesium was added in three concentrations (0, 50 and 100 mg.litre-1) and was labelled as Mg0, Mg1 and Mg2 consecutively. The gibberellic acid was sprayed in three concentrations (0, 50 and 100 mg.liter-1) and labelled as GA0,GA1 and GA2 consecutively. Besides the salicylic acid was sprayed with the following concentrations (0, 100 and 200 mg.L-1) and labelled as SA0, SA1 and SA2 consecutively. All these processes were performed starting from April 10 three times, with a time interval of three weeks. The experiment was performed based on the split-plot system in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in which the various magnesium concentrations were added to the main plots and both the gibberellic and salicylic acids were applied to the subplots. The results showed that the addition of magnesium has positively increased the main stem diameter, single leaf area, total leaves area per plant and the relative chlorophyll concentrations in leaves. The height and the diameter of a sapling, length of the branches, leaf area and total leaves area of sapling were increased as a result of foliar spraying with gibberellic acid. The spraying of salicylic acid has a positive effect on the saplings’ characteristics (leaf area, total leaves area and relative chlorophyll concentration in leaves). The dual or triple interaction treatments between the three studied factors had the positive results in most characteristics were investigated.
