Abstract: The experiment was conducted during the season of 2009 – 2010 in al-muhanawia area 10 km north east of Hilla, to study the economic return of Barcelona eggplant yield according to 3 treatments of covering by single and double covering 5 and 10 cm apart and 5 treatments of spraying with water and foliar spraying of agroleaf by 2, 4, 6 and 8 time at rate 12.5g ⁄ l. Split plot in RCBD was used with 3 replications. results show that double cover increase the means of quantitative yield and economic returns, the double cover of 10 cm space show the highest total yield and economic return, where reached 22.08 and 19% respectively as compared to the single cover, also spraying of foliar fertilizer gave significant increasing in the total yield and economic return in an increment of 82.72 and 34.83 % respectively as compared with the water spraying. The interaction of both experiment factors resulted in significant increase in the mean of the yield and its component and the economic return however double cover of 10 cm space and eight times spraying of agroleaf resulted in higher total yield, economic return reached 21.84 kg ⁄m² and 12591.3 I.D respectively. | ||
