Abstract

A factorial experiment was carried out in the greenhouses that were implemented for this purpose to study the ability of the accumulation and resistance of the carnation plants to growth in soil contaminated with toxic elements and plant treatment using natural extracts and treatment with different ratio of biological organic aquatic extracts. The experiment included the use of three factors, the first factor included treating the plants with two types of extracts (licorice root and malt seed) in addition to the control treatment, while the second factor included treating the planting soil with two ratio of tea compost (1/5 and 1/10), while the third factor included treating the potting soil with heavy elements. Copper, lead and their mixture at a concentration of 5 mg L-1, follow the design of C.R.D. In the study experiment, there were three replicates, and each replicate included 3 experimental units. The results of the study showed that the study factors had a significant effect on the studied vegetative growth characteristics. The triple interaction treatment (licorice extract and 5/1 ratio of tea compost for non-stressed plants) had a significant superiority in plant height, number of leaves, number of vegetative branches, and chlorophyll content of leaves with an average of (23.67cm, 64.33 leaves, 11.33 branches, and 42.00 SPAD), while the treatment (spraying unstressed plants with licorice extract without adding tea compost) achieved the highest average dry weight of vegetative growth, with an average of 11.816 gm.
