The present study was carried out in silk green house (Biology Dept. College of Education University of Mosul), for the winter season 2007-2008, to study the seeds aqueous extract effect of Fenugreek on growth and yield components of two wheat cultivars (Adnanya and Sham 6) treated with concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2) %. The results showed that the seeds aqueous extract caused stimulated effects especially at concentration 1.5%, through the
effects on some characters (plant height, branches number ,leaf area, grains numbers spike, spike weight, dry weight, weight of one hundred grain, % R.W.C., total chlorophyll content and elements content of plant (Na ,K ,Ca and Mg ) compared with plants in control group (without spray). On the other hands, the cultivar Sham 6 was better than Adnanya in the some important growth characters studied especially leaf area, which effect on the grain numbers spike , spike weight and mineral elements.
