The periwinkle with the scientific name of Catharanthus roseus isone of the most important ornamental plants of the Apocynaceae family. Inorder to evaluate the effect of different waters on the amount of the nutrientelements in soil and aerial parts of Catharanthus roseus, a factorial experimentbased on completely randomized design was conducted in 3 replications.Experimental treatments were including: type of water (magnetized tapwater, tap water, magnetized well water and well water) and irrigationintervals (2, 4, 6 and 8 days). In this study, the attributes such as display life, plant height, leaf number, the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassiumof the soil and the plant were evaluated. According to results, the maximumdisplay life (42.23 days), plant height (21.71 cm) and leaf number (165.88)were related to the treatment of irrigation with the magnetized tap waterwith2 days interval. The maximum amount of nitrogen of the plant wasrelated to the treatment of irrigation with the magnetized well water +2 daysinterval (0.32 mgl-1). The treatments of irrigation with the non- magnetizedtap and well water with 8 days interval had the maximum amount of nitrogenof the soil. The maximum amount of potassium of the plant with 56.21 mgl-1was obtained in the treatment of irrigation with the magnetized well waterwith 2 days interval. The maximum amount of phosphorus of the plant with39.5 mgl-1and then 38.8 mgl-1were related to the treatments of irrigationwith the magnetized well water + 2 days interval and irrigation with the magnetizedtap water+ 2 days interval.
