Abstract: The experiment was conducted during the growing season of 2008-2009 at Kufa district in Najaf Governorate to investigate the response of Barcelona eggplant hybrid to seed generation (F1, F2 ) and 6 treatments of organic manure by mixing with water 1:10 v/v (i.e. poultry, Cow , Sheep, and broad bean manure). The above organic solutions were applied with rate of 3L/m² for 4 times in 60 days interval, while Chinese Humi Max manure was mixed with water by 1:200 v/v and applied with rate of 100 cm³/m² at the same intervals. The F1-seed generation gave the highest growth rates and fruit yield as compared with F2-generation. Also, the obtained results showed that the application of poultry and sheep manure solution increased significantly the growth and fruit yield as compared with other treatments. The favorable effects on growth and fruit parameters were obtained when growing eggplant by F1-generation and application of poultry or sheep solution.
