Fieldwork was conducted at the College of Agriculture, University of Diyala in the 2022-2023 agricultural season. We aimed to study the impact of foliar spraying with Nano and regular phosphorus fertilizer on the growth and production of colored Cauliflower. The study included two factors, the first factor was hybrids, namely Garno, Di Sicilia Violetto, Verde Di Macerata, Megha, and Fujiyama, and the second factor included 4 levels, namely: Control, spraying regular phosphorus fertilizer P2O5 at a 5 gram per Litter, and spraying with nanophosphorus (17% phosphorus). At a by an amount of 1gram per Litter, spraying with nanophosphorus (17% phosphorus) at a By an amount of 2gram per Litter. The experiment was carried out within a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with a S.P. system with three replications and included 60 experimental units, with an area of 2.5 m2. The productions can be summarized as follows: All genotype parameters significantly affected the characteristics of vegetative growth and production. For the Verde Di Macerata genotype was superior in giving the best productions for the percentage of nitrogen in the leaves (4.311%) and phosphorus in the leaves (0.5%). The plant production was 9.228 Kg.m2, while Megha was superior in the percentage of potassium in the leaves (4.407%), and Garno recorded the best production for the diameter of the pink disc (23.62 cm disc-1). All foliar spraying treatments with Nano- and regular phosphorus had a significant impact on vegetative growth characteristics and production, as foliar spraying at an amount of 2gram per Litter was superior in giving them the best percentage of nitrogen in the leaves (4.542%), phosphorus in the leaves (0.467%), and potassium in the leaves was 4.320 %, the diameter of the flower disk was 23.03 cm disk -1, and the total plant production was 8.103 kg m-2.
