A factorial experiment (2×2×4) was conducted using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates. The research was included two wheat varieties (Hawler 2 and Hawler 4), foliar fertilization at two growth stages (Tillering GS Z25 and booting GS Z45) and four fertilizers treatments which include F1(control), F2 (134 mg/L) Fe as (FeSO4.7 H2O), F3 (270.01 mg/L Zn) as ZnSO4 and F4 ((134 mg/L Fe + 270.01 mg/L Zn) combination of (F2.7H2O + ZnSO4). The results indicated that the treatment combination of V1 × S2 × F0 recorded highest values for no. of spike plant-1, no. of spikelet spike-1 and no. of seed spike-1 (4.25, 51.51 and 54.27) respectively. While the highest seed weight spike-1, seed index (22.71and 45.41) were recorded for the combination treatment of V1 × S1 × F4 the results also revealed that the treatment combinations (V2 × S1 × F4) and (V1 × S1 × F1) offered the highest and lowest seed yield respectively. The treatment combinations (V2 × S1 × F4) resulted in higher seed yield by 69% compared to (V1 × S1 × F1).
