Abstract

Marigold (Calendula officinalis) is an important medicinal and ornamental plant, this study conducted in the Lethalhouse, Grdarasha field, Agriculture College, Salahaddin University through January 5^th to April 22^th 2015 to study the effect of NPK (at four levels 0, 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 g. kg^-1) as soil application and foliar spray of sea force (at the concentrations of 0, 1, 2 and 3mg.L^-1) on some Calendula afficinalis vegetative growth and flower features and total flavonoid content in the leaves and flowers. The best result of plant height (64.89cm) was obtained from NPK 0.75g.kg^-1 and the highest number of the leaves and flowers (195.96 and 19.18 respectively) were obtained from NPK 0.50g.kg^-1. However, the highest values of plant hight and number of flowers were recorded from 1 mg.L^-1 sea force extract. The interaction treatment of 0.50 g.kg^-1 NPK and 2 mg.L^-1 Sea force gave the highest plant, and 0.75 g.kg^-1 NPK with 1mg.L^-1 sea force interaction gave the greatest number of flowers per plant (20.38). Total flavonoid content in leaves extracts is directly proportional to NPK concentrations. The maximum flavonoid contents were 21.320 ± 0.010 and 21.915 ± 0.071 mg. kg^-1 in the leaves and flowers extracts treated with 0.25 g. kg^-1NPK, 3mg. L^-1 sea force and 0.75g.kg^-1NPK, 3mg.L^-1 sea force respectively, the flowers are with higher amounts of total flavonoid content
