This investigation was carried out during the two successive seasons of 2006 - 2007 and 2007 - 2008 on Vicia faba, L. cv. Kassasin The aim was to study the effect of spraying with potassium at rates 0.3 and 0.6 % K20, zinc at rates 100 and 200 ppm and Artemisia inculta extract at rates 5 and 10 cm3/I as well as different combination treatments among them at vegetative growth and flowers initiation on growth, flowering, yield and its components and some anatomical feature. Plants were sprayed three times at 30, 45 and 60 days after sowing. All spraying materials showed a significant increase in plant growth, flowering, setting, quantity and quality of yield and anatomical structure as compared to untreated check. Spraying plants with Artemisia inculta extract at rate 5 or 10 cm3 /1 led to improve plant height, number of leaves and branches/plant and dry matter/plant, flowering, setting and yield and its components (pod length, pod weight, number of pods/plant and pod yield/fed) more than spraying with potassium and zinc. Meanwhile, potassium effect had uppermost improving zinc effect on characters under study. As for the effect of spraying materials on anatomical structure of stem and leaf, results indicated positive effects with all the studied characters of plant organs. In general, spraying Vicia faba, L. plants with combination of potassium, zinc and Artemisia inculta extract at all different concentrations showed significantly increase on plant growth, flowering, setting, yield quantity and quality and anatomical structure than spray with them alone or control.
