Abstract
This study was conducted in the field of Horticultural Research Station at Agricultural College / Tikrit University during spring season of 2009 . The aim was to study the effect of application methods of organic matter on the growth and yield of strawberry plant using two planting systems plastic tunnel and without covering which were conducted in two soil types : loam and gypesium soils. The present study also included four methods of organic matter applications. Control "without organic matter", mixed , ditch mixed with the soil and under the plant . The design of the experinment was Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications . Results indicated that the application method or organic matter under the plant produced siginficatly greater vegetative growth and yield characteristics compared to other application methods that gave layes number of leaves runners flowers per plant and larger leaf area . This application method also gave grater number of fruits per plantheares weight per fruit and grater yield . Covered planting method showed signicant increases in all studied vegetative and fruit characteris compared to uncovered method . The effect of the interaction between organic application method and planting system was significant while organic method application under the plant using covered planting method shwed higher growth values for the studied characterietes .
