Abstract
      This study was conducted at Sulaimani Quality Control Laboratory, Bakrajo Agricultural Research during 2022 to determine the influence of interaction treatments between four levels of Nano NPK (20:20:20) using foliar application at rates of (0, 150, 300 and 450) mg L-1 , two growth stages tillering and booting at two locations Sulaimani  with at Qilyasan Agricultural Research Station, University of Sulaimani, located at (35° 34′ 307″ N, 45° 21′ 992″ E and elevation 765 m above sea level) and Grda-rasha, the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences research farm, Salahaddin University of Erbil, located at (Latitude 36. 10116 N and Longitude 44.00925 E and elevation of 415 meters above sea level), during winter season of 2019-2020, on quality variation of two bread wheat varieties (Adana-99 and Aras) in terms of length (mm), width (mm), thickness (mm), protein% and hectoliter kg hl-1. The highest values of bread wheat quality according to the studied characteristics of hectoliter, thickness, width and length were (78.633 kg hl-1, 3.240 mm, 3.380 mm and 6.500 mm) were recorded from interaction treatments of (Aras x booting x300 mgl-1), (Aras x booting x300 mgl-1), (Aras x booting x150 mgl-1)    and (Aras x booting x control)   respectively from wheat samples that taken from Sulaimani location. On the other hand, the highest grain protein of 14.633 % was obtained from interaction treatment of (Aras x tillering x300 mgl-1) at Erbil location. The results indicated that the spraying x300 mgl-1 regarded as a best level of Nano-NPK fertilizer.
