Abstract
The Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was conducted to study the effects of compound fertilizer levels of Nigella sativa L. during winter season (2003-2004) in the experimental fields of the Field Crops Dept. Institute of AL Musaib. The treatments consist of nigh levels of compound fertilizer (0 ، 120 ، 240 ، 360 ، 480 ، 600 ، 720 ، 840 ،960) kg NPK / ha. The area of experimental unit was (4x3m) with four rows (0.75m) apart for each row and the seeding rate used was (8 kg / ha). Analysis of Varian and simple correlation were made on the data obtained according to the fallow design (RCBD) with four replications. Less Significant (LSD) was performed for comparison between treatment means. The results showed that the compound fertilizer had significant effects on most characteristics studied . Level (120 kg NPK/ ha) (T9) had the largest number of branches and number box to plant (6,5).and the level has been raised to 360 kg/plant to give high value for dry weight, and the fertilized level attained about 3.2 g , and the effect is non significant for each high plant and yield had seed and number of box of plant, however non-significant effects of compound fertilizer was noticed on the plant height and number of branches and number box to plant. It is concluded from this research in order to increase growth and seed yield to black – cumin plant compound fertilizer level (120 kg NPK / ha) should be used
