This study was conducted to determine the effect of water stress on the growth and chemical content of lemongrass plants and the efficiency of spray fertilization and fertilizer addition in reducing the harmful effect of drought stress under greenhouse conditions. The experiment was designed according to the Complete Randomize Design (CRD), with three replicates and two plants per experimental unit. The experiment included two factors, the first was fertilization using the organic fertilizer ORGEVIT after a stage of 5 leaves mixed with the soil, at two levels of 250 g and 125 g, and the second factor was fertilizing by foliar spraying using the organic stimulant Maxi-Grow, at two concentrations of 500 mg/l and 250 mg/l. The third factor included irrigation intervals, at a rate of every 10 and 15 days. The replicates and their combinations resulted in 9 treatments for each replicate, including the control treatment, which was placed in the designated place in the greenhouse after cleaning and arranging it. The vegetative traits of lemongrass plants were studied, and the results of the vegetative traits showed that the highest value for leaf area and root length was in the fertilization factor of 250 kg/ha and 250 mg/l, while the results showed that the highest values for the fresh weight and dry weight traits were in the fertilization factor of 250 mg/l. liter and 500 mg/liter
