A Master's Thesis at University of Basrah Investigates the Response of Wheat and Barley to Basrah's Conditions

A master's thesis in the College of Agriculture at the University of Basrah studied the response of barley and wheat to levels of phosphate fertilizer and assessed some genetic parameters under the conditions of Basrah province.

The thesis, presented by researcher Adel Jabbar Hussein, aims to evaluate the performance of several varieties of barley and wheat in response to levels of phosphate fertilizer and to identify the best level of phosphate fertilization that yields the highest grain output. It also aims to study some genetic criteria and analyze genetic stability to select the ideal and genetically stable variety.

The thesis recommended adopting the cultivation of the Al-Rasheed variety because it provided the highest grain yield and was genetically stable compared to other varieties. It also recommended adopting a phosphate fertilizer level of 150 kg P2O5 ha-1 when cultivating wheat in order to increase yield production.
