The experiment contained two factors.

Results showed a significant increase in some of the studied parameters plants height,stem diameter, total number of branches, leaf area, leaves content of total soluble carbohydrates and chlorophyll As a result spraying extracts of compost and the concentrations, as well as interaction between the two treatments significant increase to spraying extract mushroom culture residues and the concentrations 166.6 g.L-1 as compared to the control treatment (water only). | ||
