Water stress and soil nutrients affect the growth of medicinal herbs as well as the quantity and quality of their essential oils. The effect of drought stress and different fertilizers on yield and morphological traits of Ajowan was studied in a split-plot experiment on the basis of a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications in Qaen, Iran. The main plot was devoted to irrigation...

introduction canola is the world third oil crop with 25 to 55 percent oil content (hezbavi & minaei, 2008). in recent years, tendency towards expansion of the acreage of canola in iran has been increasing and for the years 2010-2011 an area of 93000 ha with a total production of 190000 tons has been reported (ministry of jihad of agriculture, 2013). application of biological fertilizers which a...

introduction dragonhead (dracocephalum moldavica l.) is an annual herbaceous aromatic plant and belongs to lamiaceae family. it is native to south of siberia and himalayan hillsides. the essential oil content shows great variation due to plant origin. the main constituents of dragonhead essential oil have been reported as geranial, geranyl acetate, neral and geraniol. using organic manures and ...

Biofertilizers are used to improve soil fertility and plant production in sustainable agriculture. However, their applicability depends on several environmental parameters. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of free-living bacteria containing fertilizer on the growth of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cvs. Delicates) under aluminium (Al) stress. Different responses to Al stress of cuc...

The use of renewable resources and inputs is one of the fundamental principles of sustainable agriculture that enables maximum crop productivity and minimal environmental risk. Nutrient management may be achieved by the involvement of organic sources, bio-fertilizers, and micro-nutrients. Indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers to achieve high yield and to compensate for lack of nutrients an...

Effect of Nitroxin Bio-Fertilizer Application Accompanied with Nitrogen on Canola (Brassica napus) Yield Quantity and Quality

introduction savory (satureja hortensis l.) is an annual herbaceous plant that belongs to the lamiaceae family. nowadays, the use of biofertilizers is increased in agriculture and their role in increasing the crops production has been demonstrated in many research works (vessey, 2003; chen, 2006; mahfouz & sharaf- eldin, 2007). one of the most important visions is sustainable production of enou...

in order to study the effects of biofertilizers and different water volume per irrigation on vegetative characteristics and seed yield of sesame (sesamum indicum l.), an experiment was conducted at the research greenhouse of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, during 2009. this experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replica...

The application of biofertilizers constitutes one of the main components of nutrient management with a fundamental role in sustainable agriculture and the improvement of plant qualitative traits. The present research assessed the effect of various treatments of phosphate solubilizing bacteria including Pantoea agglomerans strain P5 and Pseudomonas putida</...
