Özet: In this study, plant extract was obtained by using endemic Prunus laurocerasus plant leaves. The effects of this extract on plant root and stem growth were investigated. The experiments were carried out with two stages and three replicates. In the second stage of wheat seed in the first stage, bean and chickpea plants with economic value were used. These plants are irrigated with solutions prepared at different concentrations. Then, the effect of these solutions on the onion roots was investigated and the mitosis in the roots was examined. The highest percentage of mitotic index (MI) was determined in the control group. It was determined that there was an inverse ratio between the percentage increase of the solution and the percentage of MI. As a result of the observations made, it was determined that plant growth rate slowed down and stopped at the same rate as the concentration rate of the extract used increased. From this point of view, it is aimed to find alternative solutions in natural ways instead of chemicals that can harm the living and the environment against the climatic and environmental difficulties encountered in the agricultural areas in our country.
