| ABSTRACT: This experiment was conducted in plastic house units – Horticulture department – College of Agriculture – Baghdad University during 2008 – 2009 and 2009 – 2010 growing seasons in order to study the effect of cow manure and bread yeast suspension on growth and production of tomato plant (Hybrid Wijdan). Randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates were used with L.S.D. test at 5 % level. The experiment contained 13 treatments which included spraying or not spraying Bread yeast (Sacchramyse cervisiae) at a rate of ( 4 , 8 , 12 g / L ) with cow manure at a rate of ( 5 % and 10 % ) of soil weight . Results compared with treatments received any kind of fertilizer. The results of the experiment showed that chemical fertilizer treatment gave the highest effect on vegetative growth and mineral contents in leaves (N, P, K, Ca, Fe, and Zn) but it did not have significant effect compared with cow manure 10 % or bread yeast 8 gm / L treatment. The highest significant yield was obtained from treatment contained cow manure 10% during first season fallowed by chemical fertilizer treatment gave a significant effect in the yield / plastic house . It was also found that bread yeast 8 gm / L treatment during first season gave a significant increase in yield, but with no differences with chemical fertilizer treatment. | ||
