An experiment was conducted during the season of 2012-2013 at Abualkhasab, Basrah governorate to study the effect of soil mulching and foliar application of chelated iron at three levels 0, 50, 100 mg.l-1 on growth and yield of cabbage plant cv."local".

Results showed that polyethylene mulching significantly increased the stem diameter and weight of folded leaves, weight of plant , head weights and total marketable yield as much as 8.06, 27.06, 17.98 and 21.71 %, respectively, compared to without mulching treatment.

Foliar spraying of chelated iron at 100 mg.l-1 increased stem diameter and weight of folded leaves, weight of plant , head weights and total marketable yield as much as 17.9, 67.03,69.14,74.88 % respectively compared to untreated treatments.

Plants grown in mulched soil and foliar spraying of chelated iron at level 100 mg.l-1 produced total marketable yield of 24.721 ton.donum-1 as compared to that planted at mulch soil and untreated with iron 10.265 ton.donum-
