الملخص EN

This experiment was conducted at Technical Institute Khabat, Erbil Polytechnic University in the plastic house during spring season 2015, using factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates, to study the effect of boron and zinc foliar application at concentrations of (0, 150 and 250) ppm on the chemical characteristic of the leaves and fruits of Flavio F1 hybrid cultivar of sweet pepper plants.

The results showed that the foliar application of boron significantly increases the percentage of potassium, calcium, sodium, iron, manganese, copper, boron and zinc content in the leaves and fruits.

Foliar application of zinc significantly decreases the percentage of calcium and iron content in leaves and fruits and significantly increases the sodium, manganese, copper, boron and zinc in the leaves and fruits.

Boron foliar application has higher effects as compared with foliar application of zinc
