A field trial was conducted in one of the fields of Ibn Al-Bitar Preparatory Vocational- Holy Kerbala Governorate, during spring season at 2021, to know the effect of organic fertilizes {0, 2000 Kg ha-1 Cow, 2000 Kg ha-1 Poultry ,1500 Kg ha-1 cow+ 500 Kg ha-1 Poultry,1000
Kg ha-1 cow+1000 Kg ha-1 Poultry and 1750 Kg ha-1 cow+ 250 Kg ha-1 Poultry} and spraying with potassium nanoparticals {0,1000 and
2000mg L-1 } on some growth characteristics of maize plant. A Randomized Complete Block Design {RCBD} was used with three
replications The data were statistically analyzed using the Genstat program, and the averages were compared with the least significant
difference at level 5% . the results showed the {1750 Kg ha-1 cow+ 250 Kg ha-1} Poultry treatment was superior by give highest values in all characteristics under study. Also {2000 mg L-1 } treatment from potassium nanoparticals was outperformed in all studied traits Except for the characteristics of ear diameter and stem diameter, they did not differ significantly from treatment K1.
