Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted in an field of the wheat research station that located in the Al-Warka locality northeast of Al-Muthanna province during the autumn season 2014-2015 in order to study the effect of different dates and levels of agricultural sulfur that added to the soil planted with a two cultivars of wheat Triticum aestivum L. on available iron and its content in plant before planting stage and at flowering. A randomized complete block design with a style of split split plot with three replicates. The results showed that the agricultural sulfur addition at level 2000 Kg S ha-1 was a significant effect to increasing the soil contain of available iron before planting and at flowering because of its effect of decrease pH soil were its values was 7.14 and 7.25 for the both stages before planting and at flowering sequentially, the level 2000 Kg S ha-1 gave the highest mean of iron in the soil which were 4.15 and 4.05 mgFe kg-1 soil, the added date in September gives a highest mean for the avaliable iron in the soil before planting which were 3.68 mgFe kg-1 soil, also the added date in December gave a highest mean for the avaliable iron in the soil which were 3.27 mgFe kg-1 soil in flowering stage. Achieved the level of added 2000 Kg S ha-1 and the added date in December the height mean of iron in the plant which were sequentially 628.7 and 553.44 mgFe kg-1 dry matter in the flowering stage. And about the cultivars, IPA-99 gave the highest mean of available iron in the soil in flowering stage which were 3.20 mgFe Kg-1 soil, the cultivars did not affect significantly in iron content of plant in the stage of flowering. Interaction between the added levels, added dates and cultivars gave the highest means for the available iron before planting and at flowering.

ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of some of chemical (salicylic acid and calcium chloride) and biological factors (Trichoderma harzianum) and the extract of tomato plant debris on resistance induction in tomato plants against Fusarium wilt disease Fusarium oxysporum f.sp lycopersici and on growth parameter of this crop.
The effect of pre-inoculation treatments of biotic and abiotic inducers to tomato plants in green house conditions against F. o. f. sp. lycopersici , revealed that SA, CaCl2 and T. harzianum which applied three days before inoculation with the pathogen (FOL), were completely prevented disease incidence and disease intensity in tomato plants. Extract of tomato debris revealed less inhibitory effect on percent infection and disease intensity of wilt disease which reduced to 35.24 and 20.94 respectively by un-sterilized extract and to 100{8aa0d92a9d700de00931fb59e75e46e902b43698544c97f28f7bec3700555d1d} and 90.94{8aa0d92a9d700de00931fb59e75e46e902b43698544c97f28f7bec3700555d1d} by sterilized extract compared with that treated with pathogen only.
In contrast, the use of chemical and biological factors, led to increased growth parameters, height, fresh, dry weight of shoots and roots and chlorophyll content in tomato plants treated with SA, CaCl2 and T. harzianum in comparisons with that in untreated plants.
