Abstract

This study was conducted in the agricultural research station- College of Agriculture and Marshlands, University of Thi Qar, Iraq. The paper presents the effect of spraying alpha-tociferol and amino acid some of the vegetative characteristics, chemical components and oil of the mint plant (Mentha pipreta L.), with three variants (0 control, 20 and 60) mg/l as alpha-tociferol source were tested, and three variants (0 control, 20 and 60) mg/l as Amino acid source were tested. Results shown that the plants treated at a concentration of 60 mg/l with nano -zanic fertilizer and Amino acid were superior in plant height (24.86,29.11)) cm; leaves number (73.57,66.30) carbohydrates (2.873 2.563)mg/g; percentage of volatile oil in the leaves(0.5 794 0.7 083)%;. respectively.
