Abstract

A pot croton (Cdiaeum variegatum) experimental  study  was  conducted at the Floriculture Nursery  of the Hort. Dept. , Faculty of Agriculture ,Moshtohor,  Benha  University , during  2022 and 2023 seasons to evaluate the effect of some micro and macro-nutrients foliar spray treatments i.e. the combination of Ca +Mg at 50, 100 and 150 ppm, treatments beside the combination of micro-nutrients i.e. Fe +Mn +Zn at 50, 100 and 150ppm a on vegetative growth root parameters and chemical constituents of croton (Codiaeum variegatum) plants. Results showed that different applied treatments of some nutrients treatments led to significant increase of the  studied mention afore. However, the highest values in this concern, were recorded by Ca+Mg at 50 ppm sprayed plants, followed in descendingly by (Fe +Mn +Zn) at 100 ppm . Consequently, it is preferable to spray croton plants with Ca+Mg at 50 ppm or 100 ppm Fe +Mn +Zn to enhance the growth, roots and some chemical constituents of this plant.
