Fruit samples of strawberry were collected from local markets in Sulaimani Governorate/Iraq which they are imported from Turkey and Iran.Two different methods for identifying the fungi were used; morphologically, depending on some characteristic such as the shape of the spores, the color and the general shape of the fungus. Also to confirm the diagnosis fungal, molecular method was used. The mycotic observations showed that there were nine distinct fungi. The molecular data was blasted at NCBI checked and the identification rate was between 97-100%. The diagnosed fungi were (Alternaria alternate, Aspergillus niger, Botrytis cinerea, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae, Nigrospora sphaerica, Penicillium raistrickii, Penicillium griseofulvum and Rhizopus stolonifer). The highest infestation percent was recorded for A. niger 26.02%, while the lowest was for Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae 1.08%, pathogenicity test was performed for the isolated fungi and revealed that all of the fungi were pathogenic more than 90%. Samples from local markets showed no significant differences in disease incidence and the severity of the disease. For management of the fungi associated with strawberries, different method have been used in vitro (rosemary and pomegranate) plant extracts, salicylic acid (SA), potassium metabisulphite (KMS) and two fungicides. 1% and 2% rosemary plant extracts gave the highest inhibition of (P. griseofulvum) also, pomegranate peel extract 4% had a significant effect on (N. sphaerica). In addition SA were effective on all fungi and KMS had the same as the fungi excepted (R. stolonifera) compared to control treatment.

This study carried out in Kanipanka Agricultural Research Station Sulaimani governorate, Kurdistan region, Iraq. The experiment contained of three vines of each cultivar (Tre-rash and Rash-miree) were selected, and it was cultivated in two methods (irrigated and non-irrigated) previously. The total of vines were 12 which have about (15) years. Using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replicates. Duncan's multiple ranges (p ≤ 0.05) used to compare the means XLSTAT software used for data analysis. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the two methods for the cultivation on two grape cultivars aforementioned and their effects on the physical and chemical properties. Results indicated that Tre-rash cultivar superior Rash-miree cultivar in term of the number of berries per cluster, total sugar, pH value, number of seeds per berry, cluster weight and firmness. On the other hand, Rash-miree cultivar significantly superior Tre-rash cultivar regarding the berry diameter and length, Titratable acidity, weight and size of 100 berries, anthocyanin, weight of pulp per 100 berries. Concerning the cultivation methods of grapevine where registered the highest vitamin C, TSS, total sugar, pH, cluster weight, weight and size of 100 berries, anthocyanin and weight of pulp per 100 berries when cultivation non-irrigated. Additionally, the interaction between Rash-miree cultivar with non-irrigated cultivation showed significant superiority more the studied traits.
