Abstract
Abstract: This research was undertaken in Dept of Hort- College of Agri Unive of Sulaimania in autumn 2010 to investigate the effect of foliar spraying with liquorice and fenugreek extract with concs 0,2,4,8 gm/l water and interaction between them in addition spraying with distilled water on vegetative, flowering characters and vase life of snapdragon plants. The plants were sprayed for five times between each spray and other fifteen days, the first spray was in 11-11 and 14-11-2010 for both extracts. The experiment have carried out as factorial with complete block design.Spraying liquorice 4gm/L increased plant height, number of shoot /plant. While concs 2gm/L increased the vegetative dry weight (71.86gm) .Spraying fenugreek extract concs2gm/L increased plant height, number of shoot /plant and root dry weight. The vegetative dry weight increased for all fenugreek concs significantly compared with cont.Regard to flowering growth characters the result showed spraying with both extracts with concs 2 and 4 gm/L reduce number of days to compose flower spike and number of days to opening flower bud and increase spike diameter, number of florets in spike,as for the both extracts effect on vase life and water uptake we found the concs 4gm/L licorice give highest average for vase life and highest water uptake.
