Abstract
A pot experiment was conducted in A lathe house of University Nursery (36cm Diameter) in a factorial RCBD with tow factors: Inoculation with cyanobacteria (with and without) and the second (Spraying with a sea Algae extracts which used into four levels :E0 (control), E1(Spraying with 1.5 ml/L from Seaforse1 Algae extract), E2(Spraying with 2 mlL from Seamino Algae extract), E3 (Spraying with a mixture of 1.5 + 2 mlL from Sea force1 + Seamino Algae extract) the treatment replicated four times, and the results were as fellows: 1- Those inoculated with cyanobacteria caused a significant increases in a vegetative growth characteristics and yield compared with un inoculated plants . 2-Spraying with Sea Algae extracts caused a significant increases in a vegetative growth characteristics and yield and chlorophyll content, especially with the plants sprayed with A mixture of sea algae extracts. 3-The inoculated strawberry plant sprayed with a mixture of sea algae extracts gave a highest crown diameter (2.02cm), leaf area (160 cm2 ), shoot system dry matter (38.3 gm plant ), root system dry matter (12.56gm plant), number of stolons (12.63), number of leaflet (41.23), total chlorophyll (17.66) , plant yield (186.43 gm) compared with the lowest values in control plants which gave a lower crown diameter (1.32 cm), leaf area (104.3 cm2), shoot system dry matter (19.6gmplant), root system dry matter (7.83gm plant), number of stolons ( 8.66), number of leaflet (22.40), total chlorophyll (12.43) , plant yield (81.46gm).
