An experiment was conducted at the nursery of Agriculture Faculty/ Kufa university during growing season 2013 – 2014 to study the effect of spraying Fenugreek seed extract and Salicylic acid on some vegetative and flowering parameters of Snapdragon plant . Experiment was adopted in Randomized Complete Block Design (R.C.B.D ) with three replicates in two factors First three concentration of Fenugreek extract ( i.e. 0 , 3 and 6 ) ml.L-1 Second three concentration of Salicylic acid ( i.e. 0 , 25 and 50 ) mg.L-1 and their interaction , using Least Significant Difference ( L.S.D ) test to compare the means. Results showed that spraying with Fenugreek seed extract at a concentration 6 ml.L-1 or Salicylic acid at a concentration 50 mg.L-1 increased significantly growth parameters ( plant height , number of leaves , shoot dry weight , total content of chlorophyll and total soluble carbohydrates in leaves , longest height of roots , root dry weight , height and number of inflorescence per plant , numbers of florets per inflorescences, dry weight of florets, in addition to reduce the days until opening the first flower bud compared with control treatment which gave the least vales. Resulted showed that spraying Fenugreek seed extract at a concentration 6 ml.L-1 and Salicylic acid at a concentration 50 mg.L-1 increased significantly plant height, total content of chlorophyll and total soluble carbohydrates in leaves, longest height of roots , root dry weight. Resulted showed that spraying Fenugreek seed extract at concentration 6 ml.L-1 and Salicylic acid at concentration 25 mg.L-1 increased significantly number of leaves, shoot dry weight, height and number of inflorescence per plant, number of florets per inflorescence, dry weight of florets in addition to reduce the days until opening the first flower bud compared with control treatment which gave the least vales.
