Abstract
The metabolic processes associated with fig production are affected by nutrients supply to the fig trees during the growing season.so the experiment was conducted in the fruit seedlings reproduction nursery in Babylon province in1-March-2020, Al Mahawil District, belonging to the Iraqi Ministry of Agriculture, on the seedlings of figs, Al-Wazeri cultivar is six months age, Where it was sprayed with the nutrient solution Micronate 15 in four concentrations (0, 1, 2, 3) g.L-1 and tryptophan in four concentrations (0,50,100,150) mg.L-1 in the form alone or in combination in (3/15) 15 / 4,15 / 5,15 / 8,15 / 9/2020). The results showed that spraying seedlings with single and combined study treatments led to a significant increase in the average seedling length, number of leaves, leaf area, leaf content of total chlorophyll, and nutrients (N, P, K). Where the treatment (Micronate Nutrient Solution 15 at a concentration of 3 g.L-1 + amino acid Tryptophane at a concentration of 150 mg.L-1) significantly excelled and gave the highest average of these traits compared to the control treatment.
