Abstract
An experiment was conducted inside greenhouse of the Department of Biology - Faculty of Education, Ibn al-Haitham - University of Baghdad during the agricultural season 2008-2009. Fenugreek seeds ( Indian production) was cultivated in pots with 5 kg capacity. Nitrogen was used in three levels (0.25, 0.50, 1.00) g/pot, equivalent to (46, 92, 184) kg nitrogen /ha, in addition to the control treatment which left without fertilizer and urea used as a source of Nitrogen. Phosphorus fertilizer with two levels (0.25 and 0.50) g/pot was used, which equivalents (21, 42) kg phosphorus/ha, in addition to the control treatment and Superphosphate was used as a source of phosphorus. The aim was to know their influence on some morphological characteristics of fenugreek plant. The experiment was designed as a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications, so that the experiment included 36 pots. The results of the experiment showed that 400 kg urea/ha and 200 kg superphosphate/ha in gave the highest values of the characteristics studied. These are plant height, absolute growth rate, dry weight and the efficiency of fertilizer compared to other levels of both fertilizers .
