Medical plant Purslane contain large amounts of material with extraordinary health benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty unique combination of vitamin C, beneficial effects on the circulatory system and the heart. Therefore, research into application attract moisture substance and organic fertilizer and chemical on yield of purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) In Ahwaz conditions, a field experiment was conducted experimental field of Ramin Agriculture and Natural Resources University in Ahwaz, south-western of Iran, during 2011 growing season. Treatments were arranged as a split plat experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The main plot involves Zeolites of 2 tons per hectare, Control plots without application of fertilizer, super absorbent material at the rate of 200 kg per hectare and subplots involving fertilizer treatments at six system cow manure system, Sheep manure system, poultry manure, Filter cake, Urea nitrogen fertilizer rate of 180 kg hectare and source of phosphorus, 150 kg of triple superphosphate and Control plots without the use of fertilizers. Zeolites and super absorbent the highest levels of plant dry weight, plant height and number of lateral branch had the highest. Application of chemical fertilizers, plant dry weight, plant height, number of secondary branches, chlorophyll a, b, carotenoids and protein significantly increased and Control manure treatment had the lowest levels of these traits. Treatment of cow manure, sheep and control has the highest percentage of oil and chemical fertilizer treatments had the lowest percentage of oil. The results indicate the possible use of chemical fertilizers and manure plus in boosting performance oleracea was with absorbent material.
