Abstract

The College of Agriculture's Department of Horticulture and Landscape Engineering is a greenhouse where the research was carried out during the 2023-2024 growing season. The research investigated spraying three different doses of licorice root extract and moringa leaf extract, at 0, 4, and 6 mg L-1 The seedlings used in the experiment were one year old. The results revealed that the licorice extract had the highest benefits, with a dosage of 6 mg L-1 outperformed Moringa leaf extract at a concentration of 6 mg in terms of vegetative and chemical moisture (plant height, diameter, number of branches, number of leaves, chlorophyll leaves, total soluble carbohydrates, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium), with values of (142.48, 13.85, 4.33, 81.55, 88.70, 68.74, 67.11, 4.30, 0.38, and 1.25), respectively. L-1 had a significant impact on the vegetative and chemical temperatures of mulberry seedlings. The plants' height, diameter, number of branches, number of leaves, free space, leaf chlorophyll content, total soluble carbohydrates, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were all measured (124.52, 12.93, 4.44, 80.54, 88.07, 8.88, 69.92, 4.41, 0.44, and 0.73). The bulk of accuracy investigations revealed a significant
two-way interaction between the two factors.
