The growing global population and rapid urbanization have put heaviness on farmers to produce more food, leading to increased fertilizer use. This study aimed to explore the effect of application of different levels of nano - conventional NPK foliar applications which was applied at level (F1= Control (no fertilizer), F2= NPK fertilizer of soil application with 240 kg ha-1 (according to standard recommendation), foliar application of Nano NPK with different levels (F3 = 100 ppm (parts per million), F4 = 150 ppm and F5= 200 ppm, while conventional NPK foliar application were: ( F6= 300 ppm, F7= 500 ppm, F8 = 700 ppm), at two stages (30 and 55) days after planting during two seasons. The second factor was two distances between the row, (50 and 70 cm) with 30 cm distance between plants. A factorial experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates. Data collection were considered to analyze the yield components and seed quality of sunflower crop. The statistical analysis results indicated a significant effect of studied factors and their interactions on most of the studied traits. The recommended soil NPK fertilizer affected significantly on all of the growth parameters which included the highest values for head diameter (17.97 and 19.62 cm), weight of head (363.33 and 248.00 g plant -1), 1000 seed weight (131.65 and 116.21 g) and seed yield (4.40 and 6.02 t ha-1) while the control treatment recorded lowest values for most of studied traits at both growing seasons. Simultaneously, nano NPK application demonstrated positive effects on sunflower quality parameters, leading to increase oil % reached to 26.74 and 25.17 % for F4 treatment. Also, nano NPK foliar application resulted an increased protein percentage and protein yield at F8 treatment, as well as nitrogen content in the seeds compared to lower levels. Overall, conventional NPK foliar application had a more significant impact compared to nano NPK application. Plant density had a significant effect on yield component and quality parameters of sunflower seeds row spacing of 70 cm. Maximum values were observed in all traits except nitrogen %.

Hyperlipidemia is a common disease that causes serious diseases and damages the kidneys due to increased oxidative stress. The Moringa plant was chosen because it contains antioxidants, including flavonoids, to reduce the level of lipids. The experiment was conducted at the Animal House/Veterinary College/Tikrit University, for a period from 10/1/2023 to 11/7/2024. Experimental rats: 40. Form 8 groups of 5 rats each. The healthy groups were fed a standard diet throughout the experiment, while the infected groups were fed a high-fat diet with 2% cholesterol throughout the experiment. The groups were divided as follows: 1 healthy control, 2 infected control fed a high-fat diet, 3 infected control and dosed with Moringa extract, 4 infected and dosed with atorvastatin, 5 infected control and dosed with the extract + the drug, 6 healthy control fed a standard diet and dosed with the extract. 7 were healthy and were dosed with the drug only, 8 were healthy and were dosed with the extract + the drug. The study was designed to determine the role of Moringa extract compared to the drug atorvastatin in improving risk factors for kidney disease resulting from hyperlipidemia. Biochemical results showed an increase in the levels of urea, creatinine, and uric acid in the hyperlipidemia group, and in the groups that were dosed with the extract and the drug, there was a significant decrease (P≥0.05). As for histological results, they showed histological disorders in the kidneys. The extract and drug were more effective in normalizing tissue lesions.

The field experiment was carried out at Qlyasan in the Sulaimani region during the summer season of 2022-2023. It was aimed to investigate the effect of different levels of humic acid on growth, yield and yield components and fatty acids of four sunflower genotypes (Oilseed and Non-oilseed). The first factor included sunflower genotypes; (HS360, Flamme, Dakota and Pionner), while the second factor involved different levels of humic acid, (H0, H1 and H2 that responded 0, 20 and 40 kg. ha-1), respectively. The results showed that, genotypes significantly affected all traits except fatty acids. Pionner var. surpassed others by having the highest values of growth traits; plant height, stem diameter, head diameter and number of seeds per head were by (171.52, 2.07, 17.86 cm and 1314.44 NS/head), respectively. While, Dakota var. was surpassed others in yield and yield component traits; 1000 seed weight, seed, oil and protein yields were by (87.93 g, 3.75, 160.09 and 74.54 t. ha-1), respectively. Generally, humic acid at the level of 40 kg. ha-1 (H2) significantly enhanced growth and yield parameters taken from this present study, it also could be said that it had a great impact on fatty acids in sunflower seeds, while only linoleic, oil and protein percentage improved. Additionally, the interaction between both factors also significantly affected all traits except of some fatty acids were not. Interaction between all genotypes to 40 kg. ha-1 humic acid (V1H2, V2H2, V3H2 and V4H2), were mostly superior of all traits when compared to other treatments. Finally, it could be concluded that humic acid had the important role of enhancing growth, quantity and quality of both sunflower types (Oilseed and Non-oilseed).
