	This
experiment was carried to evaluate the effects of pistachio hull and rice husk
compost, as culture medium, on Chlorophyll contents, Phenol, Carotenoide and micronutrients of <i>Scindapsus aureus</i> (<i>Scindapsus aureus</i>)
plants.&nbsp; Rooted cuttings were used as plant
materials and cultured in pots (40กม30cm) filled with the
following media: S<sub>1= </sub><span class="style311">50%
leaf mould   50% Soil (control)</span>, S<sub>2 = </sub><span class="style311">100% rice husk</span>, S<sub>3
= </sub><span class="style311">70% rice husk   30%
pistachio hull</span>, <span class="style311">S<sub>4</sub>:
50% rice husk   50% pistachio hull, </span>S<sub>5= </sub><span class="style311">30% rice husk   70% pistachio hull</span><sub> </sub>and S<sub>6 </sub>= <span class="style311">100%
pistachio hull</span>. Our data showed that all measured parameters
decreased when pistachio hull was greater than 50%, so that the Fv/Fm and Ch a
was increased using pistachio hull rate up to 50% and decreased in S<sub>5 </sub>(<span class="style311">30% rice husk   70% pistachio
hull).</span> The Zn and Mn concentration of root was increased using
pistachio hull rate up to 50%. Application of rice husk in combination with
pistachio hull, improved growth of plants. The best vegetative parameters
obtained with S<sub>4</sub> and S<sub>2.</sub> <o:p></o:p>
