Sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.) seedlings were sprayed three times a season with four levels of urea (45 % N) (2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 g/L) and two levels of ascorbic acid (150 and 300 g/L), each alone or in combinations. Meanwhile the seedlings of control treatment sprayed with distilled water during 2010 growing season, twenty days intervals between each spray and another. Results obtained at the middle of October of the same season, indicated that the foliar spray with urea at the concentrations of 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 g/L significantly increased leaves N and chlorophyll concentrations, leaves number, seedling leaves area, seedlings height, main stem diameter and leaves fresh and dry weight, especially at the foliar spray with 10.0 g/L. The means of these parameters were 3.19%, 66.80 SPAD, 146.66 leaves/seedling, 3700.00 Cm², 83.66 Cm, 4.50 mm, 4.70 g, 1.53 g, respectively. Meanwhile ascorbic acid spray at two concentrations unsignificantly affected all parameters, except leaves chlorophyll content, leaves number and seedling leaves area. Most treatments of combinations spray with urea and ascorbic acid significantly affected all studied parameters, especially the treatment of foliar spray of urea and ascorbic acid at a concentration of 10.0 g/L and 300 mg/ L, which gave the highest means of leaves N concentration, leaves number, seedling leaves area and leaves fresh and dry weights, and it unsignificantly differs from the treatments which gave the highest means of seedlings height, main stem diameter and percentage of leaves dry matter weight .

Peach (Prunus persica Batsch) transplants cv. Dixired were sprayed three times a season with three levels of urea (45% N) (2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 gm/ L), and two levels of iron (10 and 20 mg Fe/ L) using chelated iron Fe-EDDHA (6%iron), each alone or in combination. Meanwhile the control transplants sprayed with distilled water during 2006 and 2007 growing seasons, twenty days intervals between each spray and another, the first spray is done at the first week of May in both seasons. Results indicated that all spray treatments with urea and iron each alone or with each other significantly increased leaves N, K, Fe, chlorophyll and carbohydrate concentration, transplant leaves area, shoots number, transplants height, main stem diameter and vegetative and root dry weight. While leaves P concentration, significantly decreased with the foliar spray with two concentrations of iron alone, or in combination with all concentrations of urea. The best treatment was 7.5 gm urea/ L + 20 mg Fe/ L., which gave the highest means of all studied parameters, except leaves P concentration, which were the highest mean of it was in the control treatment at both seasons.
The experiment was carried out during spring season 2016 to study the effect of foliar spraying treatment with Tecamin Flower 2.5 ml/L in comparison with distilled water, on growth of three hybrids of tomatoes at two different levels of irrigation (100 and 50 % of field capacity). Three sprays were conducted started from flowering with two weeks’ interval. The results showed that ‘Finenss’ hybrid had significant differences in plant height, branches per plant and leaves number per plant. ‘Hadeer’ hybrid had superiority in dry matter ratio and content of chlorophyll in leaves. Reducing the level of irrigation resulted in a significant decrease in plant height, total branches number, versus an increase in the leaves number per plant, total leaves area and the percentage of dry matter. The results showed that the treatment with Tecamin flower led to a significant increase in all indicators studied. The interaction treatments shoed that Hadeer hybrid irrigated in level 50 % and spraying of nutrient solution (Tecamin flower) had a significant increase in dry matter ratio and chlorophyll content in leaves. While the hybrid Finenss which irrigated in level 100 % with nutrient solution (Tecamin flower) had a significant increase in leaves number per plant and total leaves area.
This study was conducted during the seasons 1995 and 1996 at Ninevah Horticulture Station- Iraq. On Halwani and Kamali grape cultivars. This study included four levels of foliar application of Fe-EDTA at concentrations of 0, 50, 100 and 200 ppm ir on, and soil compound fertilization with NPK (30 kg N + 30 kg P2O5 + 30kg K2O/ Donum) on the two abore mentioned cultivars, and the interaction among the three studied factors (cultivars, Fe and NPK), was also evaluated. The results showed that 200ppm of iron caused a significant increase in the percentage of pollen viability, Pollen grains germination, length of Pollen tube, setting of berries, ovules fertilization, leaf chlorophyll content, single leaf area, shoot leaf area, and total leaf area per vine and leaf area per cluster. The same results were obtained by using NPK fertilization. Halwani grape CV. Was significantly superior over on the Kamali grape CV. in pollen viabilits, pollen germination, length of pollen tube, leaf chlorophyll content and the single leaf area, While the Kamali grape CV. gave the highest shoot leaf area, total leaf area per vine and leaf area per cluster. The interaction among iron, NPK and cultivars reveded that the best treatment was 200 ppm iron with NPK, which gave the best results concerning flowering, setting and vegetative growth for both the cultivars.
Vitamin C concentration was studied in samples of infant formula from 5 companies (referenced A-E) using the 2,6-Dichlorophenolindophenol titration (AOAC, 2006) method. Results revealed that ascorbic acid content in formulas D and C was the closest to its recommended daily intake (RDI) and to the concentrations which are mentioned on the label of the samples. Storage conditions at room temperature or in the refrigerator did not affect ascorbic acid levels. In comparison to vitamin C concentrations in milk dissolved in tap water, its levels decreased when water was warm (40°C) or hot (100°C), and its concentrations further declined in dissolved form kept for two hours after preparation.
The study was carried out on trifoliate orange rootstock trees (Poncirus trifoliata L.) at Ciano Research Station where the trees were sprayed with nutrients or gibberelic acid GA3 or togethers, beside the control (without spraying). Different trea tments of seed storage were tested in order to study their effect on seed viability to increase it. The seeds were stored for three months using four treatments: (a) seed storage in fruits at +4˚C, (b) Storage in juice at +4˚C, (c) Storage at lab temperature, and (d) seed storage at fridge temperature +4˚C. The results showed that all spraying treatments were positive at postharvest, as compared with the control. However, treatment of seed storage inside the fruit gave the highest significant germination rate for all spraying treatments. Treatments of spraying with nutrients were the best. The viability of seeds considerably decreased for all treatments of seed storage at fridge temperature +4˚C, whereas germination was zero for seed stored in juice and seed stored at lab temperature.
