Abstract: In this study, essential oils extracted from Umbelifera family plants (cumin, aniseed, fennel, and caraway) have been extracted by using microwave - assisted water distillation and traditional water distillation (Clevenger method).The results showed that the needed time to extract essential oils from seed by microwave - assisted water distillation was significantly less than Clevenger method. The results also showed that the higher oil yield extracted from cumin, aniseed, fennel, and caraway by microwave - assisted water distillation were 4.8, 1.3,7, 3.4 and 2.8 % respectively, while by using Clevenger method were 4.5, 2.8, 2.3 and 1.3 % respectively. As noticed that higher oil yield was from cumin compare with other studied oils.Physical properties have been studied of extracted oils by microwaveassisted water distillation and Clevenger method. The results revealed that oils extracted by the two methods were dissolved into alcohol and did not dissolve in water. Also, colors of extracted essential oils ranged between yellow to yellowish brown. Caraway oil was yellow gold, cumin was yellowish. In addition, the taste of fennel oil and aniseed was sweet contrary to cumin and caraway oils were bitter. Specific density of all essential oils extracted by microwave - assisted water distillation and Clevenger method in this study ranged from 0.64 - 0.92. Refractive index values of extracted essential oils by Clevenger ranged between 1.48 - 1.55, and 1.49 - 1.55 by microwave - assisted water distillation. In terms ofabsorbency, the better absorbency was at microwave - assisted water distillation and Clevenger method at wave length of 280 nm compare with other oils that appeared better absorbency at wavelength of 250nm. Antioxidant activity has been measured of different concentrations of the four essential oils extracted by microwave - assisted water distillation and Clevenger method. Also, the results showed that antioxidant activity of linoleic acid of essential oils was converging for both methods Antioxidant activity was increased with increasing essential oil concentration, and the concentration of 100% had gave higher value of antioxidant activity of oils extracted from cumin, aniseed, fennel, and caraway by Clevenger reached 60 ، 69،78%respectively, also reached 65, 74, 59, 68% respectively for essential oils extracted by microwave - assisted water distillation . Also, the results showed that antioxidant activity of caraway oil was significantly higher than other essential oils. The abilityof different concentration from the four essential oils extracted by microwave - assisted water distillation and Clevenger method has been studied in the growth inactivation some types of pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeroginosa and Staphylococcus aureus where noticed that activity of essential oils was increased with increasing oil concentration and the higher inactivation of oils was at 100% concentration. There is a variation in activity of all essential oils toward Bactria types. Caraway has high inactivated effect compared with other oils in this study and inactivation diameter of oil caraway extracted by Clevenger at concentration of 100% reached 19, 28, 32 mm toward testing Bactria of Staphylococcus aureus، Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosarespectively, while average inactivation of this oil extracted by microwave - assisted water distillation was less compare with Clevenger where reached 30, 25, 16 mm towards cited Bactria types respectively. The results also showed that the identification of activation chemical compounds that is present in the essential oils xtracted by Clevenger and microwave - assisted water distillation using GC - MS technique for acknowledgment its quality, quantity and percentage in the four essential oils as follow : 1. The results of identification of active compounds of essential oil caraway extracted by Clevenger and microwave - assisted water distillation have been demonstrated Carvon compound by high ratio reached 47.12 and 40.5 % for both extraction methods respectively, while compound ratio Anethol and D - Limonene of caraway oil extracted by Clevenger were 16.18 % and 11.67% respectively and by microwave - assisted water distillation were 22.19% and 10.96% respectively.2. The chemical compounds like Alpha - Isopropylbenzyl alcohol, Cumic aldehyde and betapinene extracted from cumin essential oil by Clevenger reached 35.19, 22.60 and 13.26% respectively, while reached 33.77, 21.24 and 13.26% respectively by using microwaveassisted water distillation. On the other hand, the compound of Alpha - Isopropylbenzylalcohol has higher concentration compared with other prevailing compounds in extracted oil by these two methods.3. The results showed that the appearance of chemical compounds in aniseed oil extracted by Clevenger and the higher ratio was registered by Anethol compound reached 75.33% compared with other prevailing compounds, also the appearance of the samecompound with high ratio reached 77.58% in the extracted oil by microwave - assisted water distillation.4. The prevailing compounds in the essential oil of fennel extracted by clevengerwere Anethol , L - Fenchon and Estrago by 72.78, 7.41 and 5.52% respectively, while their ratio reached 67.01, 8.28 and 4.93% respectively by using microwave - assisted water distillation.From these results, the Anethol compound was prevailingcompound in the two extraction methods.

The aim was to clarify the effect of using straw treated with whey and urea at different levels on some productive and physiological traits of male Arabi lambs. A total of 16 male lambs were used aged 6 - 7 months with an average weight of 30.50±1.65 Kg. the lambs were distributed randomly and equally to four treatments. Concentrate diet included barley (55%), wheat straw (43%), vitamin and minerals (1%), urea (0.5%) and salt NaCl, (0.5%). Lambs were fed at 3% of their live body weight with adjustment depending on body weight change through the study period to every treatment (every two weeks). The residual feed was collected every following morning to measure the consumption feed. Ration of each treatment was as follow : 1 - First treatment : 100% concentrate diet.2 - Second treatment : 90% concentrate+10% straw treated with whey and urea.3 - Third treatment : 80% concentrate+20% straw treated with whey and urea.4 - Four treatment : 70% concentrate+30% straw treated with whey and urea.The studied productive traits were live weight, daily and total growth rates, feed consumption and feed conversion ratio, carcass traits (hot carcassweight, dressing%, cuts weight, carcass offal, internal organs weight, abdominal, heart, kidney, pelvic and tail fat weight with physical dissection of rib cut and measurement of meat, bone and fat%). Organoleptic test included color, flavor, tenderness, juiciness and total acceptance. Blood biochemical traits included total protein, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, serum urea and some hormones as growth and thyroxine hormones. Results can be summarized as follow : 1 - There were significant differences in final body weight and daily and total growth rate of lambs of second group, which was fed 10% treated straw with whey and urea in comparison with other groups.2 - Significant improvement in feed conversion ratio of lambs of 2nd group in comparison with other groups as well as there was an increase in feed consumption of lambs of 2nd and 3rd groups.3 - There were significant differences in hot carcass weights of 2nd group in comparison with other groups as well as dressing% of lambs of control and 2nd group in comparison with other groups.4 - Lack of significant differences among treated groups in the cases of cut weights, weight and % of meat, fat and bone of rib cut, external body offal, internal organs and some body fat depots.5 - Significant differences in tail weight of 2nd group and abdominal fat of 2nd and 4th groups in comparison with other groups were observed.6 - There were significant improvement in some organoleptic test as flavor and total acceptance of groups received straw treated with both 10% or 20% whey and urea in comparison with control group.7 - There was a significant increase in total proteın concentration in blood serum of lambs of 2nd and 3rd group in comparison with other groups. There was also a significant difference in serum urea concentration of lambs of 2nd, 3rd and 4th groups in comparison with control group.8 - Neither signifcant differences were found in cholesterol, glucose, triglyerides nor in growth and throxine hormones among studeid groups.

Abstract: An experiment was conducted out during the season of 2014 - 2015 in unheated plastic house conditions belonging to the Maymunah Horticulture Station / Agriculture Directorate of Maysan to investigate the effect of foliar water - soluble fertilizers (Kinglife NPK 12 - 48 - 8+micro and Kally28 NPK 9 - 0 - 6 + Ca, Mg, B) on the growth, flowering and yield of tomato of hybrids ("Wogdan" and "Noura"). The study included eighteen treatments which were the combination of three factors. The first factor was two hybrids tomato "Wogdan" and "Noura" . The second factor was three levels of Kinglife (0, 2, 3 g.l. - 1) .The third factor was three levels of Kally28 (0, 2, 3 ml.l. - 1). A split - split plot design was used with three replicates. Treatment means were compared using least significant difference L.S.D. test at a probability of 0.05. Results may be summarized as follows : 1.Vegetative growth parameters "Noura" hybrid had the highest leaf area per plant and dry weight of shoot system compared to "Wogdan" hybrid after 90 and 150 days from transplanting. Foliar spraying with both fertilizers at both concentrations caused a significant increase in plant height, stem diameter ,leaf number and leaf area per plant after 90 and 150 days from transplanting, and fresh and dry weight of the shoot system after 150 days from transplanting compared with control treatment. The interactions between the studied factors were significant in most vegetative growth characteristics. 2. Leaf chemical characteristics "Wogdan" hybrid showed significantly higher in the concentration total carotenoid and percentage of phosphorus in leaves compared with "Noura" hybrid.Foliar spraying with both fertilizers at both concentrations caused a significant increase in percentage of nitrogen and the total chlorophyll concentration, whereas Kinglife at 3 g.l. - 1 caused a significant increase in total soluble carbohydrates concentration in leaves comparison with the control. Foliar spraying with Kally28 at both concentrations caused a significant increase in total soluble carbohydrates concentration, whereas Kally28 at 2 ml.l. - 1 caused a significant increase in percentage of potassium and carotene concentration in leaves comparison with the control . The interactions between the studied factors were significant in most characteristics. 3. Flowering characteristics "Wogdan" hybrid had the highest number of inflorescences compared to "Noura" hybrid, whereas "Noura" hybrid had the lowest the flower abortion as compared with "Wogdan " hybrid. Foliar spraying with both fertilizers at both concentrations caused significantly increase in the number of inflorescences, the number of flowers per inflorescences and decreased in flower abortion, as compared with the control. The interactions between the studied factors were significant in most characteristics. 4. Yield and its components "Wogdan" hybrid had the highest number of fruit per plant compared to "Noura" hybrid, whereas "Noura" hybrid had the highest the weight of fruit as compared with "Wogdan" hybrid. Both foliar fertilizers at both concentrations caused a significant increase the yield and its components compared with control unfertilized. The interactions between the studied factors were significant in most characteristics. Foliar spraying of "Wogdan" hybrid with Kinglife at 3 g.l. - 1 and Kally28 at 2 ml.l. - 1 gave the highest values of early yield and total yield per plastic house (4.277 and 10.697) Kg.m - 2, Sequentially,whereas "Noura" unfertilized gave the lowest (2.161 and 5.411) Kg.m - 2, Sequentially. 5. Fruit quality characteristics "Wogdan" hybrid caused significant increases in total soluble solids and concentration of vitamin C compared to "Noura" hybrid, whereas "Noura" hybrid caused significant increases in percentage of dry matter as compared with "Wogdan" hybrid. Both foliar fertilizers at both concentrations caused a significant increase fruit quality characteristics (vitamin C concentration, titratable acidity, total soluble solids and percentage of dry matter) compared with control unfertilized. The interactions between the studied factors were significant in most characteristics.
