It aimed to study the effect of some plant extracts and foliar spraying with Zink on the propagation of semi-woody cuttings of <em>Citrus aurantiifolia. <\/em>Lemon cuttings were cultured using two variables: the first variable was five treatments: the control, cinnamon extract 3 g\/l, licorice extract 3 g\/l, yeast extract 3 g\/l, IBA 2500 ppm; the second variable is two levels: without foliar spraying, and foliar spraying with zinc 250 ppm, in 6-liter plastic tubs filled with a mixture of peat moss and perlite (3:1). The study used a randomized complete block design. Result showed that plant extracts improve the ability of rooting in lemon&#8217;s semi-woody cuttings significantly compared to the control (rooting percentage, number and length of roots, number and length of shoots, number of leaves). The cinnamon extract recorded similar results to hormone&#8217;s treatment in all studied parameters. The recorded values \u200b\u200bof rooting percentages were 84.74, 75.52, 58.70, 93.82% for the treatments (cinnamon, licorice, yeast, IBA) respectively compared to the control 33.98%.\u00a0 The result of root&#8217;s number were converged in the treatment of licorice extract and the hormone 6.80, 7.24 root\/cutting respectively, and significantly, superior compared to the control 2.58 root\/cutting. The increase of shoot&#8217;s length was 64.16, 50.87, 26.88, 70.23% for the treatments (cinnamon, licorice, yeast, IBA) respectively, compared to the control 3.46 cm. Foliar spraying with zinc did not have a significant effect on the root parameters<strong>, <\/strong>but it improved all recorded values \u200b\u200b.The interaction between two variables (IBA * Foliar spraying with zinc) was significantly increased all studied parameters; the rooting percentage was reached to 95.76%.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Key words<\/strong>:<em> Citrus aurantiifolia, <\/em>rooting, Zink, plant extracts, semi-woody cuttings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 17px;\">Full paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v10n5p5-1.pdf\">pdf<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maher Hasan(1) and Rima Massa (2)* (1).
