Abstract: This research was conducted in the Apple orchard belong to Department of Horticulture / Collage of Agriculture / University of Al-Anbar-Abu Ghraib during 2015 and 2016 seasons in order to investigate the response of four years old Apple trees (CV.Anna) budded on seeding root stock to foliar application with turmeric extract at four levels0 (T 0 ), 1.5 g.L -1 (T 1.5 ), 3 g.L -1 (T 3 ) and 4.5 g.L -1 (T 4.5 ) and garlic extract at four levels, 0 (GA 0 ), 25ml.L -1 (GA 25 ), 50ml.L -1 (GA 50 ) and 100ml.L -1 (GA 100 ) and their interaction between them in leaves mineral content .Each treatment replicated three times with a factorial experiment using RCBD.The number of trees used was 48 trees.The results showed that the interaction between the garlic extract at 100ml .L -1 combined with turmeric extract at 4.5 g .L -1 (GA 100 T 3 )gave a high value of leavesnitrogen content at1.99 and 2.06%, potassium content at 2.09 and 2.13%,iron contentat 210.2 and 214.4ppm and high value of leaveszinc content at and zinc 23.54 and 25.53 ppmfor both seasons, respectively.The lowest value of these parameters was found in the control (GA 0 T 0 ) treatment.
