Abstract: A field experiment was carried out inside a plastic house in (Al Bandar region) second research station in College of Agriculture / Al-Muthanna University scince winter season 2020-2021, to study the effect of two factors : first one was auxin (IAA) : control (T0), 1 ml. L-1 (T1), and 2 ml. L-1 (T2), second factor was a mixture of licorice extract with yeast suspension: control (F0), 5 g.L-1(T1) and 10 g.L-1(T2). A Completely Randomized Block Design ( R.C.B.D.) were used with three replicates and means were compared according to L.S.D. test at the level of 0.05. Results showed that Significant superiority of auxin treatment at 2 ml.L-1 in the characteristics of plant height (73.0 cm), number of leaves (25.89 leaves), leaf area (15.21 dcm2), early yield (1.91 kg.Plant-1) and number of fruits (44.78 fruits.Plant-1), while the concentration exceeded 10 g.L-1 of licorice extract and yeast suspension in the two characteristics of leaf area and number of fruits (1345 cm2, 42.78 fruits) respectively. Results also indicated that the interaction of F2T2 had a significant increase in plant height(78.0cm), leaf area (15.17 dcm2).
