This investigation was carried out during the two successive seasons of 2006 -2007 and 2007 -2008 on vicia faba, L. cv. Kassasln 1. the aim was to study the effect of spraying with potassium at rates 0.3 and 0.6 %K20, zinc at rates 100 and 200 ppm and artemisia incu/ta extract at rates 5 and 10 cm 3/1 as well as different combination treatments among them at vegetative growth and flowers Initiation on growth, flowering, yield and its components and some anatomical feature. Plants were sprayed three times at 30, 45 and 60 days after sowing.all spraYing materials showed a significant increase In plant growth, flowering, setting, quantity and quality of yield and anatomical structure as compared to untreated check. Spraying plants with Artemisia incu/ta extract at rate 5 or 10 cm] II led to improve plant height, number of leaves and brancheslplant and dry matterlplant, flowering, setting and yield and its components (pod length, pod weight, number of podslplant and pod yield/fed) more than spraying with potassium and zinc. meanwhile, potassium effect had uppermost improVing zinc effect on characters under study. As for the effect of spraying materials on anatomical structure of stem and leaf, results indicated positive effects with all the studied characters of plant organs. in general, spraying Vlcla faba, L. plants with combination of potassium, zinc and artemisia incu/ta extract at all different concentrations showed significantly increase on plant growth, flowering, setting, yield quantity and quality and anatomical structure than spray with them alone or control.
