The aim of this research is to study the reasons for not flowering fig trees in the village of Al-Dhawehria, and the research questions were as follows: 1- How do the properties of water affect the flowering of figs? 2- How do soil properties affect the flowering of figs? 3- What external factors affect the flowering of fig stenus? The research was implemented in Dhank state, where a time plan for action was initiated, and field visits to some farms in and near the village, and meeting farmers and agricultural specialists, were initiated to look for a problem to study. It became clear to us that the farmers had the problem of not flowering fig trees in the village and through that we decided to study the problem. Two areas were identified for the study where we examined the two areas and noted all the surroundings and external factors affecting them and samples were taken from the water used to irrigate the trees and the soil used to cultivate them from the two areas and track the water source for each where it was noted that groundwater is the source of both. The results indicated a difference in the properties of water and soil, and we came to: the village of al-Dhawehria (dark clay soil with large alkaline, high salinity, high alkaline water and high salinity), neighborhood of happiness (soil of medium structure warm and fertile sand clay and alkaline with moderate salinity and alkaline water and moderate salinity). We noticed that salinity and acidity affect the two areas more, after which some interviews were conducted with farmers to come up with other reasons that may have led to this, and the farmers agreed that one of the external factors affecting is the effect of sunlight as the fig tree in the farm of The Happiness neighborhood receives bright sunlight and directly opposite the fig tree in the farm of the village of Al-Dourihriya, and the irrigation method received by the fig tree, where the fig tree in the farm of Happiness is watered in a regular irrigation way, where it shows a response to it With regular irrigation additives. Based on the results of the research, we recommend that the competent authorities carry out the guidance awareness sought by farmers about the conditions suitable for the growth of each plant and the needs that must be met for its growth and flowering. Basic terminology: 1.Clay soils: are soils made up of very fine parts, so they are called heavy soils, because they are difficult to sour or grub[1]. 2. Sandy soil: soil consisting of large granules. It is called light soil because it is easy to scrub or grub in all weather spills[2]. 3.Alkaline: It is generally a description of the amount of amount of water solution to modify acid[3].
