Abstract
This study was conducted during 2019 on olive trees Olea europaea L. cv. Sorani, growing in a private orchard located on the south around Erbil Governorate, Kurdistan region, in order to identify the most suitable fertilizer, using two types of fertilizer; humic acid and seaweed extract (sea force) applied as foliar applications each at four levels (0, 2, 4 and 6 ml.L-1). ). Vigor and fruit properties of trees were measured. Both fertilizers resulted in significant differences in the majority of studied parameters at 6 ml.L-1 concentration, in which chlorophyll, leaf area, number of leaves/shoot, shoot length, oil content, TSS, fruit diameter, fruit weight, pulp weight and seed weight were increased significantly compared to other concentrations of humic acid and seaweed
