The aim of this study is to investigate the barley crop (Hordeum vulgare L.) behavior in different environments to the levels of nitrogen added in the form of urea 46%. A field experiment was conducted in the areas of Marawah, south of Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar, and Wesata which are located at  ̊21 2̀4 , ̊21 3̀9 North , ̊32 2̀0 , ̊32 4̀7 East, and 508 , 185 m above sea level for both sites respectively, to study the effect of nitrogen levels (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg ha^­¹) on some of the growth traits of barley( c.v Rehan) sown in the rate of 70kg ha^­¹ by drilling (15cm apart) during the growing season 2014/15. The experiment was laied out in RCBD by 4 replicates with 25m² for each. The results showed significant differences in crop growth rate (CGR), relative growth rate (RGR), photodegradation (NAR), leaf area index (LAI) with 150 kg / h. Sustainable yield (BMD) significantly increased with the addition of 100 kg / h compared to non-fertilization in both study sites. leaves chlorophyll a , b and total content responsed to nitrogen levels by significant increase (P<0.01) in chl a in both sites and at Wesataincase of chl b and total , meanwhile chl b and total were not affected by nitrogen levels in Marawa.
