“…The application of small amount of compost with or without inorganic fertilizer had a significant effect on plant biomass. The same results were obtained by Priyadarshani et al (2013) who revealed optimal production of vetiver biomass following application of a mixture of compost with inorganic fertilizer in a 3:1 ratio. Rotkittikhun et al (2007) demonstrated the suitability of compost application with lower doses of inorganic fertilizer for higher biomass production in field crops such as lemongrass and sunflower.…”

Purpose The nursery is the production of vigorous seedlings for field transplantation. Fertilization improves the quality of Moringa oleifera in the greenhouse. Thus, the effect of composts amendments on the survival rate and mineral composition of M. oleifera was studied. Methods A randomized complete block (RCB) design comprising fourteen treatments and twelve repetitions (pots referring to as repetitions), was led out in greenhouse. Varying compost receipts (0.1 kg, 0.2 kg, and 0.3 kg) were used and an increasing amount of a chemical fertilizer (NPK: 20:10:10) was added in some treatment at 25 days after sowing. Parameters such as germination rate, survival rate, biomass, and mineral composition of M. oleifera plants were assessed. Results The germination rate was maximal (100%) in the combined treatment PM 1 (0.8 kg of soil + 0.1 kg). A considerable reduction of germination rate and high plantlet mortality were observed in treatments that received chemical fertilizer, although the mineral components' uptake in young M. oleifera plants was considerably improved. The highest dry root biomass was obtained from the treatments MF 1 (0.8 kg of soil + 0.032 kg each of cow dung, goat, chicken manures + 0.003 kg NPK) and CM 1 (0.8 kg of soil + 0.1 kg of cow dung compost), with, respectively, 0.62 g and 0.59 g per plant. Conclusions All composts types used in this study have appeared as appropriate amendments to improve the M. oleifera production in nursery, through an increase of the vigour and mineral composition of this valuable plant.

Chemical fertilizers are applied to increase leaf related parameter, but it causes the adverse effect on soil environment and human health. To assess the comparative response of different level of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on leaf production and dry matter accumulation in radish (Raphanus sativus L.) in Sandy Regosol, field experiment was conducted at the crop farm, Eastern University, Sri Lanka in 2018. The experiment was laid out using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with seven treatments and four replicates. Treatments were recommended inorganic fertilizer, and 8 t ha -1 , 6 t ha -1 , 4 t ha -1 and 2 t ha -1 cow dung with 2 t ha -1 , 4 t ha -1 , 6 t ha -1 and 8 t ha -1 compost as a basal and ½ dose of recommended fertilizer as a top dressing and 10 t ha -1 cowdung and 10 t ha -1 compost as a basal and ½ dose of recommended fertilizer as a top dressing. The present study suggested that different levels of cowdung and compost as a basal with half dose of inorganic fertilizer as top dressing gave similar results compared with recommended inorganic fertilizer in leaf development and dry matter accumulation in radish in sandy regosol.

“…The effect of the compost in the presence of lime improves the soil with respect to pH, conductivity, the content of organic matter and the supply of adequate nutrients for better growth and yield (Priyadarshani et al, 2013). Al-Fraihat et al (2011) confirmed that the effect of organic fertilizer improves the physical, chemical and biological properties of soils, increasing their cation exchange capacity and water retention, resulting in better plant growth.…”

“…influence of organic fertilization on the content of essential oil can be variable between species for example, Priyadarshani et al (2013) observed that higher oil content (3.74%) was recorded in Vetiveria zizanioides planted with 75% of organic and 25% inorganic fertilizer. The leaf oil yield of M. arvensis was positively influenced by organic fertilizer as same as reported by Chagas et al (2011), with same species and with Ocimum selloi fertilized with cattle manure compost (Costa et al, 2008).…”

“…Organic fertilizer provides nutrients and is considered one of the key factors for increased biomass production, and especially for the quality of essential oil in medicinal plants, as well as being safer for human and animal health and the environment, providing benefits in the form of improvements in physical, chemical and biological soil properties (Priyadarshani et al, 2013;Rosal et al, 2011;Al-Fraihat et al, 2011Brant et al, 2010Corrêa et al, 2010). An additional benefit of using organic compost to provide nutrients for plant growth is that they provide an alternative for the management and disposal of farm residues.…”

As a product of secondary metabolism, essential oils may exhibit variation in their composition according to mode of plant cultivation. The application of organic manure has been considered one of the key factors for increasing biomass and essential oil production in most of medicinal plants, as it provides nutrients and increases their uptake. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of organic fertilizer and lime doses on the biomass production of Mentha arvensis, as well as the content, yield and chemical composition of its essential oil. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse and was performed according to a double factorial design consisting of four doses of dolomitic limestone (0.0, 0.25, 2.0 and 3.72 g dm-3 , corresponding to a pH of 4, 5, 6 and 7, respectively) and five doses of the organic compost (0, 5, 10, 20 or 40 g dm-3) with ten replicates. There was an interaction between organic fertilization and liming for biomass production, with maximum leaf biomass averaged 8.61 g plant-1 and essential oil yield with application of 26 to 29 g dm-3 of organic compost and 1.7 to 2.0 g dm-3 of limestone into soil. Neo-iso-menthol was the major component of the M. arvensis essential oil.
