Propagation of Antholyza (Chasmantha aethiopica (L.) N.E Br.) by seeds, usually needs 3-4 years te, get flowering plants, and may be accompanied with some genetical isolations. However, in order to keep the quality and colour of the cultivated species, it is preferable to use new corms or cormels in propagation. Increasing such new corms on the mother plant is considered the main taraget from the commercial point of view. So, a field trial was carried out at Orman Botanical Garden, Giza, Egypt during 2006/07 and 20C7/08 seasons to study the eftect of kinetin (6-furfuryl aminopurine) at the levels of 0, 25, 50 and 75 ppm, kristalon (a complete fertilizer of 9: 1919 .( micronutrients) at the rates of 0, 1, 2 and 3 gil and the combination between 50ppm kinetin and 2 g/L kristalon on the vegetiative growth, flowering, corms productivity and chemical composition of Chasmantha aethiopica (L.) N.E. Br. Plants.
