This study was carried out during the growing season (2014) in Bakrajo Nursery

Station/ Sulaimani, Kurdistan Region-Iraq. Uniform and healthy olive Olea europaea

L.) cvs. Sorany and Picual transplants of (2) years old were used. Transplants were

grown in pots each of (5 kg) weight, to investigate the effect of three Folicist

concentrations (0, 60 and 120 mg.L-1, three concentrations of Pro-Sol (0,100 and

200mg.L-1) and their interactions on vegetative growth of Olive cvs. Sorany and

Picual transplants. The results showed that as follow: Foliar sprays of Folicist

significantly dominated over Pro.Sol at all vegetative growth characters, except plant

height, lateral shoot lengths. Picual cv. significantly dominated over cv. Sorany at all

vegetative growth characters, except laterals future fertilization requirements,

shoot length and leaf number/shoot. The interactions between Pro-Sol, Folicist and

cv. Sorany affected significantly on most of the vegetative growth characteriste.

While, Pro.Sol, Folicist and cv. Picual interaction increased stem diameter.
