Abstract :
In order to study of different N and K application levels effects on morphology and chemical characteristics of Stevia rebaudiana, experiment was conducted out in department of an green house ,branch of North region of Iran (Rasht), Agricultural Biotechnology Research Institute of Iran (ABRII) in2010. The experiment was done in a complete designe with factorial arrangement of two factors of Nitrogen with four levels(0,20,40,60kg/ha) And potash with four levels (0,20,30,40 kg/ha).Totaly 5 traits were studied including stem length , lenghth between nodes , dry and wet weight of root , and Carbohydrate. highest stem length (90.90 cm) and highest length between nodes (4.31 cm) and highest dry weight of root (15.5 gr) and highest wet weight of root (2.9 gr) was recorded of level N4 (60 kg/ha). highest stem length (77.01 cm) was recorded of level K4 (40 kg/ha). The Result showed that was obtained the highest amount of Carbohydrate of levels (N4K2)(0.057).
