Abstract: 

This research was conducted during 2021 in laboratories of Agriculture faculty of Tishreen University and in Ain Shiqaq area Lattakia. With the aim of studying the growth and development of pomegranate plant under influence of OMWW that was added a month before planting with concentrations (25,50,75,100)% of the total added water (500 ml per sacht) in addition to control (without OMWW). According to Completely Random Block Design (CRDB) with four replications per treatment. The results showed that no effect of OMWW on percentage of rooting ratio that scored with two values (87.5-90) percentage for all treatments over the control.  But the effect of OMWW appeared clearly through the significant superiority of the treatments T2 (50%), T3 (75%), T4 (100%) over the control, With increase in the concentration of OMWW used has increased (plant height, number of leaves, wet weight and leaf area). where the average plant height recorded 60.17 cm with number of leaves 208.2 leave, wet weight 11.553g and leaf area 4.215 cm² in treatment (T4), while the control values decreased where it was recorded 54.08 cm, 178.8 leave, 10.071g and 3.325cm² of plant height, number of leaves, wet weight and leaf area in respectively.
