Abstract:
The research was carried out during the agricultural season 2021-2022 in three different environmental areas in Tartous: Akkar Plain, Safita, and Sheikh Badr in terms of altitude above sea level (50, 270, and 600 m, respectively) in order to study some morphological, productive and qualitative characteristics of three different species. of the plant genus Plantago ssp, namely: (leaf length (cm), leaf width (cm), leaf neck length (cm), spike bearer length (cm), spike length (cm), spike weight(g), the weight of a thousand seeds (g), chlorophyll The total carotene is micrograms, gram-1, green matter, carbohydrate percentage, protein percentage) and thus forming an information base on which the farmer, consumer and researcher in breeding and genetic improvement programs for the studied plant species are based. Where (30) samples were identified in each of the three sites, each plant at a distance of 1-1.5 meters from the other, and then the development of these plants was monitored and monitored periodically at a rate of once a week in the various sites and in the stages of vegetative growth, flowering and maturity. A complete randomization design was adopted and The results showed a highly significant variance with statistical significance (P<001) for all the studied characteristics, at the level of one site and at the level of different sites with different altitudes (50-600 mm). SD values indicated that there are abnormal growths from the natural range of growth related to the average in all studied qualities, in terms of increase and decrease. The Sahel Akkar site was distinguished from the other two sites Safita and Sheikh Bader by Plantago lanceolate L. and Plantago major L. with the highest values in most of the morphological, productivity, and quality, and this indicates the appropriateness of the different environmental conditions for the growth of this species on this site, especially the height of the sea 50 m. ,heavy red soil,
