Abstract
Experiment was conducted according to factorial design sectors blocks complete randomization in the autumn (2008-2009), in the greenhouse of the biology department in the collage of al-razi education , diyala university. The experiment included three types of soil (silty loam ,loamyt sand and clayly) and three levels of sheep manure is(5,15,25) tons/hectare to study the effect of soil types and holds fenugreek (trigonella foenum graecum) there was anine treatment that triplicated so we had 27 treatment. The result showed the following silty loam soil gave significant increases in plant height and dry weight of roots and the number of pods and number of seeds/ Pods ,while clay soil gave significant increase In weight of(100)seed, yield of seeds and harvest index. The result showed that the use of fertilizer level 25 tons/hectar has led to asignificant increase in plant hight,number of leaves, dry weight of leaves and root, number of plants branches, number of Pods /plant , 100 seeds weight and seeds yield The result also showed that the hieghest seed yield was 2.835 gm resulted from agriculture in clay soils and the use of fertilizer in level 25 tons/hectar compared with less seeds yield of which amounted 1.125gm which resulted in agriculture in compost sandy soil and the use of fertilizer level 5 ton/hectare
