This experiment was conducted to find response of maize SC 704 to biological fertilizer¡ seaweed extract and the amino acid glycine in Ahvaz region in 2010. Experimental design was factorial under randomized complete block with four replications. Treatments consisted of biological fertilizer (Nitroxin and biophosphor) at two levels: a0 = no seed inoculation¡ a1 = seed inoculation¡ seaweed extract on two levels: b0 = no application¡ b1 = sprying application and amino acid application (glycine) at two levels: c0 = no application¡ c1 = application (applying with irrigation water)¡ respectively. Results showed that the use of fertilizers on the biological traits such as¡ total dry weight per plant¡ seeds per row¡ ear height¡ yield ¡ ratio of shoot to root was significant at fivepercent level. Seaweed extract as well as traits¡ total plant dry weight¡ number of seeds per row and ear height in the stem was significant at one percent level and significant difference was found on the thousand kernel weight. Application of amino acid glycine showed significant diferences on total dry weight¡ plant height and ear shoot (p
