N2  - There is a considerable work on the relationship between zinc and auxins on plant growth. An obvious icrease in citrus plants hight and dry weight was found by adding zinc to the medium of planting. Moreover, the same trend was true with adding auxins as foliar spray treatment. Meantime, combining zinc treatments with auxin was more effective than either zinc or auxin alone in increasing plant hight and dry weight. Concerning zinc uptake it was found that it was increased by the application of both zinc and auxins at their modrate concentration than the values produced by separate treatments. About zinc translocation it was evident that it was decreased by zinc treatments while, it was increased by auxin treatments. Also, it was quite apparent that the application of auxin as foliar spray in combination with different levels of zinc increased its translocation in citrus plants. The effect was more pronounced by 10 mg/l zinc combined by 5 mg/l auxin This indicates that the action of auxin was more effective when applied with zinc This means that the presence of auxin helped zinc to translocate to upper parts of the plant It was obvious that there was an interaction between zinc and auxin on the plant growth which may help the plant to be more productive
