Abstract

The field experiment was carried out at the Agricultural Research Station of the College of Agriculture - University of Sight during the 2020-2021 agricultural season to study the impact of manure addition and boron spraying on potato growth and yield. (R.C.B.D.) With three repeats as a two-factor working experiment in which the first agent overlaps manure at four levels (0,8,16,32) tons .ha-1 and second factor is boron spraying with four levels (0,25 ,50,75) mg.l-1, The arithmetic averages of the coefficients were compared under the L.S.D Least Moral Difference Test, at a moral level of 0.05. The results showed that all levels of manure (16 ,32) led to a moral increase in all indicators of study: plant height, number of leaves, number of main legs, paper area, wet and dry weight of vegetable total, while boron spraying with (50 ,75) led to a moral increase in plant height, number of leaves, paper area, wet and dry weight of vegetable total.
