This study was done throughout the two successive seasons of 200112002 and 200212003 at the Experimental Farm of Horticulture Research Institute, at EI-Kassacin Station, Agriculture Research Center, Ismaellia Governorate. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of chicken manure at 0, 5, 10 and 20 m³ / fed. and dry yeast at 0, I, 2 and 4 g / I. as well as their interaction on the growth, seed yield, silymarin content and some chemical constituents of milk thistle plants. The results can be summarized as follows: All treatments increased the plant height, dry weight and seed yield per plant. The highest effective treatments were that of chicken manure at 20 m³ / fed., dry yeast at 4 g / I. and interaction treatment of chicken manure ( 20 m³/ fed. ) with dry yeast ( 4 g /L. ). Also, all treatments mentioned above produced the highest values of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and the total carbohydrates per plant. Whereas the least values were produced from the control plants. The percentage of the main active ingredient ( silymarin ) was increased by all treatments compared with untreated plants.
