Polianthes tuberosa L. is one of the ornamental plants and is one of the important cut flowers in tropical and semi-tropical regions. Vitamins in small amounts are necessary for the normal growth and development of tissues in the plant. The existence of this group of materials for plant growth has been proven in tissue culture and some of them in greenhouse plants. For this purpose, in the present study, the effect of vitamins A, B, C and E on the morphological, physiological and biochemical traits of tuberosa flower was investigated. The vitamins used in this study included vitamin B,, C ,, E (alpha tocopherol) and A at three levels of 50, 100 and 150 mg/liter and during three stages ( 30, 40 and 50 days after planting) and were applied to the plants as a foliar spray. The results of comparing the average data showed that the highest length of inflorescence, diameter of flower and wet weight of shoot organ were related to the treatment of ascorbic acid (100 mg/liter). The highest amount of root length of bulbs and essential oil was obtained in the concentration of 50 mg/liter of ascorbic acid, and the highest amount of leaf protein and life expectancy was obtained in the concentration of 150 mg/liter of ascorbic acid. Also, the highest number of florets and reducing sugars were related to the concentration of 100 mg/liter of thiamine and the highest activity of ascorbate peroxidase enzyme was related to the concentration of 150 mg/liter of thiamine.

In recent years the use of chemical fertilizers, have adverse environmental effects and consequences on the health of humans and other living organisms. Compost is a mixture of organic materials processed, for a long time due to certain unique Moderators effects on characteristics of physical, chemical and biological of soil and thus grow and increase the product has been beneficial. Formless of compost, provides many problems in distributing them at ground level or at the time of mixing with other potted mixtures. The use of pellets compost is one of the ways to resolve this problem. The aim of this study was examine the contents of the composting of organic materials and other waste produced by the larvae of Potosia cuprea and compare them with the vermicompost and capabilities pellets they were chosen by the larvae. For this purpose, kitchen waste, leaves of vines, mulberry, cut lawn, and mixtures of different leaves (figs, paulownia, mulberry and grapes) were used. Results showed that the highest electrical conductivity, organic matter, total nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus was obtained in compost the kitchen waste. The highest pH, converting the waste to composting and compost uniformity were related to cut lawn. The results showed that the larvae Potosia cuprea had a significant impact on the production of pellet compost. Although pH and electrical conductivity in produced Compost, were higher than vermicompost but, the top of other content and pellets, the use of which makes it possible.
