This study was conducted at a private orchard located in chiman on 108 plants, a four-month-old (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) in 9 treatments, adding compost (Remnants Mushroom Factory) with different ratios (0%, 20%, 40%) and spraying seaweed extract Acadian (Ascophyllum nodosum) with three concentrations (0 ppm, 500ppm,1000ppm), and their interaction in the manner (20%:500ppm), (20% 1000ppm), (40%: 500ppm)and (40%: 1000ppm) of (compost and seaweed) in order to determine the effect of compost, seaweed extract and their interactions on oil production (ml)/kg, At first cut, was (13.060ml) from the 40% of compost, (13.125ml) from the 1000ppm of seaweed and (17.057ml) from the interaction between 40% of compost with 1000ppm of seaweed. The second cut was (15.908ml) from the 40% of compost, (19.794ml) from the 1000ppm of seaweed, and (22.667ml) from the interaction between 0% of compost with 1000ppm of seaweed. Significant differences were shown regarding the effect of seaweed on all physical characteristics.
