Abstract

The Apiaceae family is among the medicinal plants with widespread use in most countries because they have anti-microbial and viral effects.  The seed spices contain essential oils that have various pharmacological effects. Apiaceae family consider is wildly common crops in Iraq because of their oils and therapeutic useful The current experiment was conducted at Mosul dam place  , during 2017/2018 to study the effect of fertilizer on growth, yield, essential oil  of (sweet berries, cumin, coriander and anise).This experiment was carried out in the agricultural season (2017-2018) in the city of Mosul (Mosul Dam), (sweet berries, cumin, coriander and anise). were planted, and the results were analyzed statistically.A factorial experiment was carried out with three replications for each treatment within a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Regarding the effect of fertilization, there were significant effects  speciely in coriander plant of nitrogen fertilizers on the cultivated plants, as shown statistically
