In order to investigate the effect of chelated Iron, nano Iron and Glomus mosseae on three cultivars of Swiss Chard ( Beta vulgaris L.), a factorial experiment with two factors and three replications was conducted in the Directorate of Diyala agriculture, Baqubah nursery, Iraq during the season 2019-2020. The results showed that a superiority of the cultivar B. vulgaris 2 in a mean of the total yield (2715.2 g) followed by B. vulgaris 1 (2154.4 g) as compared with local cultivar B. vulgaris 3 (402.5 g), also B. vulgaris 2 was better than B. vulgaris 1 in increase of leaf area (first harvest, 384.7 cm) and (final harvest, 772.0 cm), whereas B. vulgaris 1 caused a significant increase in total chlorophyll 0.448 mg/g and carotene 9.7 μg / 100g compared to B. vulgaris 1. Chelated Iron, nano Iron and G. mosseae recorded highest significant in the mean of the total yield (1975.7 g), leaf area (final harvest, 706.1 cm), total chlorophyll (0.457 mg / g ) and carotene (9.9 μg / 100g ) as compared with control.
