This study was conducted in the lath house belonging to the College of Agriculture and Marshlands, the University of Dhi Qar on henna leaves seedlings during the 2020 growing season. The results can be summarized as follows: The results of the study showed that foliar spraying with Dionyfer had a positive, significant effect in improving the anatomical traits of the leaves of the henna plant. The foliar spraying treatment with Dionyfer at a concentration of (300 ml 100 L-1) recorded a significantly excelled in (cuticle thickness, Epidermis thickness, mesophyll cell diameter, vascular bundle diameter, and tannin cell diameter), and the lowest averages with a significant difference compared to the control treatment. The interactions had a clear effect on the studied traits, where the spraying interaction (Foliar of Dionyfer 300 ml 100 L-1 + Azomin 350 ml 100 L-1) was significantly excelled in giving the highest increase in cuticle thickness, Epidermis thickness, mesophyll cell diameter, vascular bundle diameter, and diameter tannin cells.
