Abstract

The experiment was carried out at the Malta Station Research Farm in Duhok. During the 2019 growing season to investigate the impact of eggplants hybrid to seaweed extract and plastic mulching with two hybrid eggplants (Anomoro and Vivo), as well as three types of plastic mulch (Black, Clear, and bare soil) and three levels of sea weed 0 ml.L-1, 30 ml.L-1, and 60 ml.L-1 respectively, on Yields and its chemical characteristics of eggplants. The collected data result in a considerable increase in the majority of the examined parameters. Vivo hybrid increased Yield; Carbohydrate, protein and potassium, while, Anamoro gave the highest value of nitro gen concentration. However about mulching factors gave a good result at black plastic mulch (Chlorophyll, Yield; Carbohydrate, protein) and clear mulch improved N,P,K. Seaweed fertilizer at 60 ml.L-1 increased all parameters which were studied in this research (Chlorophyll, Yield; Carbohydrate, P,K). At high concentrations, the interaction of three examined components resulted in the maximum values of all parameters.
