Abstract: Thirteen water sample of Shatt Al - Arab river and its tributaries were collected starting with Madania at (north of Basrah ending with Al - Fao south of Basrah) according to the following areas (Medania , Gurna , Sharesh, Deyar/ near paper plan, Hartha (near thermal electric station), Garmat Ali (Basrah university), Tenoma/Sahehia , near teaching hospital, Abul - Khaseeb /Hamdan, Abul - Khaseebl Abu - Floose, Sebha, Al - Dora, and Al - Fao. Fifteen well's water sample were collected from Al - Zubair , Al - Berjesia and Safwan during Dec.2014. Chemical and physical properties of water samples were conducted (ECiw), soluble ions (calcium, mangnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, sulphate, carbonate, bicarbonate, boron, and nitrate), total dissolved solids (TDS), and total hardness. After water sample properties determination, they were classified to three classes according to electrical conductivity (1 - 4, 4 - 8, and 8 - 12) dSm - 1 , and three classes of boron concentrations (< 0.7, 0.7 - 3.0, and > 3.0) mg L - 1 . For the purpore of study of studies filter efficiency, two type of filter were used, mineral filter (sand, charcoal, porcelin, and cement klint dust) and organic filters (rice hust ash, barley straw, sawdust, plam leaf, and poultry rnanure). Two experiments were conducted, one of them laboratory experiment in soil science and water resources laboratories /College of Agriculture /University of Basrah) other was biological experiment in wooden canopy to achieve the objectives of the study.Nine type of mineral and organic types of filters were selected for studying their efficiencies in decreasing water salinity and boron toxicity of Shatt Al - Arab river and Wells, after passing water through them. Chemical and physical properties of water were determined after passing water through filters and water quality was calculated. A number ofBcriteria and international standards were used for evaluation water quality after and before passing through filters.For studying the efficiency of water treatment by the most efficient filters according to laboratory experiment results were rice husk ash, cement klint dust, sand, and control treatment. Biological experiment was conducted by using plastic pots with capacity of20 kg soil according to factorial experiment with three replicates for each treatment with 24 empirical units (2×3×3) (soil * No. of filters * replicates) besides control treatment and six classes of water to be 144 empirical units. Two soils were used one of them from Agricultural field of Agricultural Research Station, and the other from Garmat Ali field during agricultural season 2014 - 2015. Mineral fertilizers were used with rates, 320 Kg N ha - 1as urea (46 % N) with two doses, phosohate fertilizer was applied at rate 90 kg P ha - 1 as concentrated supper phosphate (20.21 % P), potassium at rate of 120 kg K ha - 1 as potassium sulfate (43 % K) one dose at planting. Peatmose fertilizer was applied at rate 2% for all treatment mixing with soils. For getting erough water for irrigation, plastic coloumns wereduplicated in their dimentions for studied filters. Shatt Al - Arab and wells water were passed through most efficient filter besides sand filter separately with equal quantities. Water was collected after one minute to conform the properties of laboratory experiment.Tomato plants (Lycopersiconesculintium M.)were planted on 22/9/2014 and irrigated with water treated with filters besides control treatment at field capacity (20 % for Berjesia Research Station soil) and (30 % for Garmat Ali soil). Leaching requirement was calculated for each treatment. After 176 days, plants were harvested with space 2 cm from soil surface avoiding contamination. Tomato plants were fractionated into three parts, roots, shoots, and fruits. Dry matter of roots and shoot wasBCcalculated. Boron concentrion of (roots, shoots and fruits) was determined. Fruits yied of tomato was calculated. Electrical conductivity and available boron of residual soils in pots were determined after tomato plants growth Period.Results obtained could be summarized as : 1. Adoption of rice husk ash and cemenentklint dust in treatment of Shatt Al - Arab and wells water because of their high efficiency in decreasing boron concentration and water salinity and reuse for tomato plant irrigation and Plants irrigated with water treated with rice husk ash were surpassed over other plants in dry matter and yield, and gave lowest boron concentration in tomato plant tissues for all parts roots, shoots, and fruits. Same treatment gave the lowest concentration residual boron in soil and lowest value of soil salinity as compared with water treated with cementklint dust filter and sand filter besides control treatment.2. loamy sand soil was surpassed over clay loam soil in dry matter and yield of tomato and lowest concentration of boron in their tissues, while clay loam soil was surpassed over loam sand soil in residual boron concentration and soil salinity.3. Results indicated that there were significant differences between type of filters and soil texture in dry matter, yild , boron concentration in roots , shoots, and fruits of tomato plants. Residual boron concentration and soil salinity.4. Results indicated that there was no boron contamination in both studied soils treated with water of Shatt Al - Arab and wells treated with two filters (rice husk ash and cementklint dust)

Abstract: Investigation of the reproductive strategies of Arabian carpetshark Chiloscyllium arabicum (Gubanov, 1980) and Arabian whipray Himantura randalli (Last, Manjaji - Matsumoto et Moor, 2012) were conducted in Iraqi marine water from January, 2014 to December, 2014. A total of 365 Arabian carpetshark (200 female and 165 male) with total length ranged from 141 - 750 mm and 321 Arabian whipray (176 female and 145 male) with disk width ranged from 70 - 429 mm were cached. Trawling nets of Bahith Ship (owned by Marine Science Center) or other fishing boats were used to cached these fishes.Sex ratios of these fishes were investigated during study period. The cycle of gonad maturation was followed - up throughout the period of investigation by defining stages based on colour, shape and size of gonads. Fecundity was estimated and spawning period detected depending on gonado somatic index (GSI), hepato somatic index (HIS), histological study and sonar inspection.The length frequency distribution of Arabian carpetshark was dominated by group of 300 - 399 mm that appeared in all months except October. Smallest fish (142 mm, 20 g) was during October and biggest fish (750 mm, 1668.5 g) during June. The length - weight relationship was represented by the following equations : Male W= 0.000007 ×L 2.88Female W= 0.000005 × L 2.93 Both Sex W= 0.000006 × L 2.91Values of HSI was differ depending on the maturing conditions of males and females, where highest value (11.906) of HSI for females was recorded at October and lowest value (6.908) was recorded at June, while highest value (12.5) of HSI for males recorded at January and lowest value (9.14) recorded at March. There were negative correlation between oil ratioof liver and maturing condition of females, while in males this relation was not clear.Distinguishing of sex was carried out according to presence or absence of claspers. Smallest matured female was 421 ml in total length and 785.23 g in weight, while smallest matured male was 401 in total length and 693.14 in weight. Females were dominant on males during all months except February, August and November with equal sex ratio during March, while overall sex ratio was 1 : 1.26 toward females.The cycle of gonad maturation was divided into three stages : immature, maturing and mature for males and females. Linear relationship was found between total length (TL) and clasper length (x) and it was represented by following equation : TL=211.3479 + 0.013883 x X, with significant (P<0.05) correlation (r= 0.899) between them.The GSI values were different during study period, where highest values (8.84 and 7.93) for females recorded during April and May respectively and lowest value (0.73) during June, while highest value (6.74) for males recorded during March and lowest value (0.66) during May. Monthly differences in GSI especially for females refers that spawning period extended from May to June. This result supported by the results of frequency occurrence of germ cells. Results appeared that ovary of Arabian carpetshark contain 44 - 52 eggs with diameters between 22 - 48 mm. Depending on histological inspection of gonads, spermatocytes cells for males are divided into eight maturing stages, while spermatocytes cells for females into four maturing stages.Disk width (DW) frequency showed fife groups for Arabian whipray with dominant of 300 - 399 mm group that appeared in all months except October, while group of 200 - 299 mm was appeared in all months. Group of0 - 99 mm appeared in July and August, so it was concluded that reproduction occurred in July. Smallest fish (70 mm, 20 g) was cached during July and biggest fish (490 mm, 3834 g) was cached during June. Relationships between disk width and weight were as follow : Male W= 0.00031 x DW2.59 Female W= 0.0031 x DW2.31 Both Sex W= 0.0006 x W2.4HSI differed according to maturing conditions of males and females, where highest value (11.85) for females recorded during January and lowest value (6.04) recorded during June, while highest value (11.66) for males recorded during November and lowest value (7.48) recorded at March. There were negative correlations between gonad weight and liver weight of females and also between oil ratio of liver and maturing condition of females.Smallest matured female was 115 ml in disk width and 1936 g in weight, while smallest matured male was 355 in disk width and 1249 g in weight. Sex ratio was differ from the ratio of 1 : 1 during different months and at reproduction period the ratio of females was 64.5% and of males 35.5%, while the ratio was 50% for each sex after reproduction period at August. Females were dominant on males during all months except September and December and overall sex ratio was 1 : 1.26 toward females.Maturing cycle were divided into three stages : immature, maturing and mature for males and females. For males the dividing depending on morphological characteristics (length, size and colour) of claspers. Linear relationship was found between disk width and clasper length (x) and it was represented by following equation : DW=92.4133 +0.2233 x X .GSI showed differences throughout study period for both sexes. The highest value (8.63) for females recorded during June and lowest value (0.81) during July, while highest value (7.59) for males recorded duringJanuary and lowest value (0.97) during March. It was concluded, according to GSI especially for females, that birthing occurred between June and July.Number of eggs in the Arabian whipray ovary was ranged between 10 - 35 eggs and diameters between 5 - 28 mm, while the uterus contain 2 - 5 embryos that surrounded by strong covers and there wasn’t any placenta intelligence between embryos and female, so this fish considered as Ovoviviparous. Depending on histological inspections of gonads, spermatocytes were divided into seven maturing stages, while oocytes into four maturing stages.

Abstract: This study is conducted in the field of the college of agriculture / Basrah university site / Karmat Ali during spring season of 2015 where the soil texture of the field is clay and classified as a fine mixed , calcareous , hyberthermic , typic , torrifluvent .The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of irrigation water treatment and their interaction with soil conditioners application by using drip irrigation system on some physical and chemical properties of the soil and water use efficiency and its impact on some growth parameters and productivity of maize crop ( fital varity, Holland origin,(Zea mays L.).Two factors are used : four different irrigation waters and two types of soil conditioners . Irrigation water treatments included four ones : high saline water (7.5 - 8.0 dS m - 1) , mixing water ( 4.5 - 5 dS m - 1) , alternative water ( irrigation with high saline water followed by low saline one ) during the period of growth season and low saline water( 3.5 - 4.0 dSm - 1 ) . Irrigation process is applied according to evaporation pan ( class A) measurements with addition to 20% of water as leaching requirements . As to the second factor , it consists of two conditioners : compost and polymer where the first one is at two levels 1% , 2% and the second one is at two levels 0.01% , 0.02% in addition to control treatment .The experiment treatments are distributed into three replicates by using factorial experiment conducted in a randomized complete block design ( RCBD ). The planting is achieved in 20/03/2015 . At the end of the experiment are collected soil samples from the experiment location for studying some physical and chemical properties of studied soil for the depth 0 - 10 cm , 10 - 20 cm , 20 - 30 cm and a distance 0,15,30 cm from the emitter . During the experiment are used piezometers connected to the water supply pipe of each experimental unit together with water gauges for measuring water discharge in each irrigation period . And the results are as follows : 1.The results showed a significant decrease in the values of bulk density soil resistance for penetration whereas there is an increase in mean weight diameter by using low saline irrigation water , alternative waterBhigh saline irrigation water followed by low saline irrigation one ) , and mixing water in contract with high saline irrigation water. While concerning the impact of soil conditioners on the soil properties above , where the use of the compost at two levels 1% , 2% and polymer at 0.01% , 0.02% lead to significant decrease the values of bulk densityand soil resistance for penetration but there is an increase in mean weight diameter value .2. The results showed that there is an increase in the values of saturated hydraulic conductivity , accumulative infiltration , infiltration average and basic infiltration average by application compost and polymer in the studied levels , whereas usage high saline irrigation water leads to a reduction in these values above. But application alternative , mixing , and low saline irrigation water lead to an increase in all soil properties as mentioned above respectively as contrast with usage high saline irrigation water.3. The results revealed that a higher weight moisture content was close to the emitters and is decreased far away from emitters horizontally and vertically for all treatments . On the other hand , the moisture content increases by application compost at 1% , 2% and polymer at 0.01% . 0.02% where was as an average 29.83% , 31.43% , 28.76% , 29.22% respectively .Through this context , moisture content decreases significantly by application low saline irrigation water and increases significantly by the use of alternative , mixing , and high saline irrigation water where was as an average 27.48% , 28.76% , 30.06% , 31.04% respectively .4. The results showed that addition of the compost as a conditioner at 1% , 2% levels and the polymer at 0.01% , 0.02% ones leads to decrease in the values of soil salinity close to the emitters in contrast with control treatment where they were 6.49 , 5.86 , 7.13 , 6.80 dSm - 1 respectively. In addition , the results showed that there is a higher salt accumulation on usage high saline irrigation water where was7.84 dSm - 1 as contrast with mixing , alternative , and low saline irrigation water were they were 7.07 , 6.58 , 5.83 dSm - 1 respectively.5. The results revealed that there is a significant increase of the plant height of maize , fresh weight , dry weight , and the productivity by application compost and polymer with the increase of their levels . More growth parameters as mentioned above increased by usage mixing , alternative , andClow saline irrigation water as contrast with application of high saline irrigation water respectively .6.The results showed that there is a significant increase of water use efficiency values of the plant by application compost at two levels 1% , 2% and polymer at 0.01% , 0.02% where the values were 0.81, 0.88 , 0.71 , 0.75 Kg ha - 1 m - 3 respectively. However, water use efficiency values increased significantly by usage mixing , alternative and low saline water treatment where they were 0.74 , 0.80 , 0.85 Kg ha - 1 m - 3 respectively as contrast with high saline irrigation water treatment where it was 0.66 Kg ha - 1 m - 3 . In short the higher water use efficiency was on low saline irrigation water treatment, whereas the lower value was on application high saline irrigation water one .7.The results revealed that there is a possibility for the application of alternative irrigation ( by using high saline water followed by low saline water ) , taking into consideration the usage of compost 2% without any great effect on physical and chemical soil properties and plant growth with save 50% of low saline water .8.The results showed that there is a possibility for representing water infiltration results as an accumulative infiltration and infiltration average according to Philip's equation ,( 1957) with high significant limiting factor and determining the values of Philip's equation constants . In this context , the results showed that water infiltration increased with the rising of conditioner level and decreased with the low conditioner one .

Abstract: Solar essential oil extraction apparatus has been designed and manufactured to extract aromatic oils. The device operates by solar energy and consists of two units. The first is steam production unit, which is a solar collector provided with pipes and covers an area of 1.566 square meters. The second is extraction unit, which is a stainless steel cylinder, the height of which is 0.320m and its diameter is 0.105m. In addition to these two units, the device is fitted with a glass steam condenser and a separation unit to separate the aromatic oil from the condensing water. The device also contains a balance tank.The solar collector is directed towards the south with an inclination of 30˚ and the testing data of the solar collector were gathered for the period from February to June 2014. Daily tests are conducted from 9 : 00am to 3 : 00pm. The solar radiation energy and temperature of the weather, absorbing plant and the incoming and outgoing steam of the extraction unit along with the temperature of the botanical parts are measured. Calculations are done for the practical and theoretical effeciency of the solar collector and for the proportions of the oil yield for every plant.The study uses some plants such as;clove buds, cinnamon barks, orange and lemon , eucalyptus leaves and cardamom seeds to extract their aromatic oils using this method, which is called Solar Distillation (SOD). In addition, another common extraction method is used, which is Hydrou Distillation (HD) to extract the aromatic oils from the plants under study for the purposes of comparison. The study included the evaluation of the chemical compounds of the aromatic oils using GC - MC technology; along with conducting chemical tests and check - ups for the physical properties and also included the evaluation of peroxideBvalue and the possibility to use these aromatic oils in some food systems. A feasibility study for the device is included too.The study shows an increase in solar radiation energy while the day hours go onward, and reaches its highest degree at midday then decreased. The average of solar radiation energy reached 902.66 W/m2 . This was recorded midday in June 2014. The results of the study reveal that the highest average for solar radiation energy is 1044 W/m2. However the lowest is 682 W/m2 and is recorded at 3 : 00pm in February 2014. The results showed an increase in the practical effeciency in summer months (April, May and June) more than in winter months (February and March). The highest average of the practical effeciency reaches 37.96% recorded at midday in June; whereas for the theoretical capacity is 44.78% recorded at midday in March. The results showed that the average of temperature of the absorbing plant has increased gradually till it reaches the highest degrees at midday then decreased till it reaches the lowest degrees at 3 : 00pm and the highest averages were recorded in June and reached 101.8C°. The highest and lowest averages of temperature of the steam produced from the solar collector were recorded in June and February and reached 96.84C° and 90.4C° at 12 : 00pm and 3 : 00pm respectively.The percentage of the extracted aromatic oils using Solar Distillation (SOD) method from the plants under study reaches 15.6, 3.6, 0.9, 1.0, 3.2, 4.4% however for those extracted using (HD) method, the percentage reaches 13.4, 3.3, 1.0, 1.1, 3.4, 4.1% respectively. Qualitative tests of the aromatic oils extracted using the above mentioned procedure show that they contain compounds of aldehyde, Ketone, terpines, steroides, phenolics, and was void of alkaloid, resins, saponines, flavones, glycosides, tannins, carbohydrates, peptides, and proteins. Peroxide value change for the aromatic oils was slight and reached 1mm equivalent during storage period which lasted for 60 days in aCtemperature 5 - 7c˚. It was observed from the analysis of aromatic oils extracted using SOD method in addition to GC - MS technology that the main compound of carnation, cinnamon, orange, lemon, eucalyptus and cardamom are; Eugonol, cinnamaldehyde, D - Limonene, D - Limonene, beta - cymene and equaliptol in the following proportions; 78.19, 64.8, 62.97, 47.50, 24.17, 41.74% respectively. The results showed that the highest and lowest specific gravity average at 25C˚, recorded using SOD method are 1.0410 and 0.8322 for carnation and orange; whereas the highest and lowest specific gravity average at 25c˚, recorded using HD method are 1.0470 and 0.8336 for carnation and orange oils also and respectively. The results also showed that the majority of the aromatic oils extracted using HD method have refractive index slightly higher than those extracted using SOD method. The highest refractive index is attained with carnation oil and reached 1.5322, while the lowest was with cardamom oil and reached 1.4614 under 20c. The Optical Rotation for orange oil is higher than other extracted oils and reached +98, +93 using SOD and HD; while the lowest is recorded with cinnamon oil and reached - 2, - 1 using the above mentioned methods respectively. All the extracted aromatic oils in both methods dissolve in ethanoic alcohol in different proportions. The degrees of dissolution for all of them are approximate with no much disparity between them. Aromatic oils entered the cake industry replacing vanilla. According to the results of the study no significant disparity related to the colour, substratum, or appearance is existed amongst cake types which contain aromatic oils and those void of them. However, there are some significant differences related to the taste and smell. As shown by the results, the cake that contain cardamom oil got the highest marks, followed by those containing lemon oil

Abstract: This study was carried out in the laboratories of Plant Protection Department / Agriculture College / University of Basrah, while the field experiment has been done at the fields of wheat in, Qurna, North of Basrah during the season of 2013 - 2014. in orderd to know the causal agent of the wheat death and stunting phenomena. The results of isolation, identification and pathogenicity test revealed that Rhizoctonia solani was the causal pathogen agent of wheat bare patch disease. The evaluation of efficiency of Trichoderma harzianum and Moncut fungicide and their interaction were done. The study showed that bare patch disease spread in all fields in Qurna and some fields in Mudainah. The highest percentage of disease incidence was recorded in Jurf - Alsakher which was 7.9%, while the lowest percentage was recorded in Nahr Salih fields which was 2.1% . Pathogenicity test showed that the isolate Rs1 which was isolated from Qurna - Mzeraa was more virulent than Rs2 isolate which was isolated from Jurf - Alsakher. Results also explained that 25ºC and pH 5 were the best temperature and pH values for the growth of the fungus. On the other hand it was found that both isolates RS1 and RS2 were able to grow at high salinity ranges from 6 - 16 ds.m - 1.The results also showed that the bioagent T. harzianum has a high antagonistic ability against isolates of R.solani (Rs1 and Rs2) with antagonism degree reached (1) according to Bell scale . It's also found that both isolates give positive detection for cellulase , protease and polyphenol oxidase enzymes, while they gave negative detection for lipase . It is also noticed that culture filtrate of Rs1 and Rs2 treated or non - treated with heat effected on seed germination and reduced the percentage to 0% compared to 100% in control treatment.BThe laboratorial experiments revealed that Moncut fungicide was the most effective among all tested fungicides , the growth inhibition reached 50.55 and 42.22% for Rs1 and Rs2 isolates respectively, and 7.33% for T. harzianum . On the other hand the concentrations of 150 and 200 ppm of Moncut fungicide were most effective among all concentrations to inhibit growth of RS1 and RS2 isolates on PDA, which reached 62.2, 66.3, 75.7 and 80.9% for both isolates and concentrations respectively.Pot experiment elucidated that the treatment of T. harzianum + Moncut + RS1 or RS2 increased wheat seeds germination up to 74.7 and 60.35% respectively compared to 41 and 29.6% for R1 and R2 alone respectively. It is also found that T+M+R1 and T+M+R2 reduced seed decay to 26.3 and 31.6 respectively compared to 59 and 71.33% for treatments R1 and R2 respectively, also they increased the number of offshoots, plant height, fresh and dry weight for shoot and root systems.Field experiment results revealed that the treatment T+M+R1 and T+M+R2 led to increase seed germination percentage and reduced seed decay percentage to 89.67, 10.33, 82.0 and 12.0% respectively compared to 50, 45.33, 50 and 54.67 for treatments R1 and R2 alone. It's also observed that T+M+R1 and T+M+R2 increased off shoot number , plant height , fresh and dry weight for both shoots and root system which reached 7.2, 6.6, 59.66, 55.89, 25.16, 22.56, 2.76, 2.42, 6.49, 6.37, 0.59, 0.66 respectively in comparison with the treatments of R1 and R2 alone which were 4.4, 4.1,41, 38.33, 10.86, 9.51, 1.28, 1.02, 2.67, 2.55, 0.29,0.23 respectively. Also, these treatments gave best number of spikes which was 476.4 and 461.3 spike/m2 respectively. From other hand the number of seeds also increased it reached 39.67 and 34.7 seed/spike respectively, These treatments also led to increase the weight of 1000 seeds up to 41 and 39.27 gm respectively compared to the pathogen treatments R1 and R2 alon
