Abstract
This investigation was conducted for two successive years (2000 and 2001) in the experimental field of Qlyasan research station-college of Agriculture-University of Sulaimani, to study the effect of Nitrogen fertilizer (0, 20 and 40 kgN/ha) and two cutting treatments (one cut and two cut) on the characters of plant height, No. of tillers/plant, Green and dry leaf%, Green and dry stem %, dry matter%, green and dry weight/plant, leaf dry weight, stem dry weight and green and dry forage yield for proso millet. Results of combined analysis for two years indicated the presence of significant effect of Nitrogen fertilizer on plant height and green forage yield only. Concerning cutting treatments on studied characters as the average of two years, results indicated the out yielding the treatment of two cut in plant height, green and dry leaves%, green yield/plant, while the treatment of one cut out yielded two cuts in green and dry stem%, dry matter %, dry stem yield and dry forage yield, in which there are no significant effect of cutting treatment on No. of tillers/plant, dry weight/plant, dry leaves yield and green forage yield. Concerning to the interaction effect between the two factors levels, the results of combined analysis indicate no significant effect on all characters except of plant height.
