Field experiment located at Nineveh province was carried out by using randomized complete block design RCBD to study the effect of phosphate fertilizer levels (32 and 64 and 96 kg P / ha) with two depths 10 and 20 cm. and using four placement fertilizer distances (10. 20. 30 and 40 cm). with three replications wheat crop cultivar sham-6 was cultivated in a calcareous soil (clayey texture) with 10 mg p / kg soil. Results revealed that maximum yield. P- grain content and number of spikes were found in treatments received high levels of super phosphate (96 kg p / ha). Beside that the treatments of depth 20 cm and distance 40 cm at all levels of P gave an increase in yield compared to other treatments. However T24 (96 kg p / ha. 40 cm distance. and 20 cm depth) was the best treatment that gave a significant increase in yields. P- grain content and number of spikes.
