Polymer and compost amendment is a general approach to improve soil properties and promote crop productivity. This study was carried out to assess the effect of polymer and compost amendments on the growth parameters of wheat (Triticum aestivum) and soil properties. The experiment was carried at the Agricultural Research Station/College of Agriculture and Marshes/University of Thi-Qar using a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replicates. The results show that the addition of polymers and compost significantly improved soil properties such as bulk density, total porosity, and moisture content and also increasedthe dry weight of the plant, spike weight, number of spikes, spike length, plant height, number of tillers, leaf area. These results illustrate that polymers and compost should be incorporated in agriculture for higher production.
