This experiment was carried out to study the effect of adding compost tea and humic acid on the growth and active ingredient of chive (Allium schoenoprasum L.) plant. Chive plants were received two organic fertilizers: the first one was compost tea (0, 100 and 200 ml / L) as main plot, and the second one was humic acid (0, 2 and 4 g/L) as sub plot. The  two  fertilizers  were  sprayed  two times,  45 and 75 days  after sowing.   The  results  revealed that:  the applied  compost  tea  significantly  increased  growth  and  yield  characters  as  well  as  oil  percentage  and  yield  compared  with  untreated  plants. The  plants  treated  with  compost  tea  at  200ml  /L  produced  the  maximum  mean  values  of  plant  height,  fresh  and  dry  weights of  herb, as  well  as  essential oil yield. However humic acid at 4 g /L recorded the highest mean values of plant height, fresh and dry weights of herb. On the other hand, humic acid at 2g/l gave the highest values of essential oil yield. Also,  the  interaction  treatments  had  a  significant  effect on  all  traits  under  study. Thirty  compounds  of  Chive  EO were  identified  by GC-MS  analysis,  representing  from  65.07  to  93.29%  of  the  total EO.  The main compounds found were dipropyl disulfide (12.8–35.4%), dipropyl trisulfide (12.9-30.05%), methyl propyl trisulfide (3.80–9.03%) and 1-propenyl propyl disulfide (1.56 –10%).  The highest amounts of dipropyl disulfide and1-propenyl propyl disulfide were detected with humic acid at 4g/L treatment. Treatment of compost tea  at  200  ml / L + humic  acid  at  2 g / L caused  the  greatest  accumulation  of  dipropyl  trisulfide.
