| Abstract | ||
| The experiment was conducted in the village of Imam Ismail in the Hawija District of Kirkuk Governorate during the 2025 winter season. The study involved two factors: the first was the effect of four types of organic fertilizers (control, cow manure, sheep manure, and poultry manure), and the second was four genetic lines (local, Turkish, Iranian, and Syrian) and their interactions on certain phenolic compounds in watercress. These treatments were arranged according to a completely randomized block design (RCBD) as a factorial experiment with three replications. The results of the statistical analysis can be summarized as follows: Organic fertilizer achieved a significant increase in the studied traits, with the treatment yielding the highest mean values. Phenolic compounds: quercetin (100.3225) ppm, gallic acid (110.0342) ppm, catechol (83.7833) ppm, and benzoic acid (57.9958) ppm. The Syrian genotype showed superiority compared to the other cultivated genotypes (quercetin (109.49) ppm, gallic acid (119.4283) ppm, catechol (93.5367) ppm, and benzoic acid (67.5058) ppm. The interaction between organic fertilizers and the genotype and its relationship to the supplemental treatment was studied. (cow manure and the Syrian genetic composition) showed a significant increase with the highest averages. The phenolic compounds include quercetin (112.51) ppm, caffeic acid (122.23) ppm, and benzoic acid (70.49) ppm. | ||
