“…Organic fertilizers are carbon-based compounds that increase the productivity and improve quality of plants (Leu, 2007). They have different benefits like low priced and eco-friendly inputs that have a great prospect of supplying nutrients which can reduce over-dependence on chemical fertilizer (Bajeli et al, 2016).…”

In order to evaluate the effects of organic, chemical and integrated nutrition systems on morpho-physiological traits of oregano (Origanum vulgare L.), an experiment was carried out at the experimental farm of the Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Center, Urmia, Iran, during 2016-2017 growing season. The experimental design was a completely randomized block design with three replications. The experimental treatments included NPK, two organic (vermicompost and biochar), two biological (nitroxin and bio super phosphate) fertilizers and their all twin combinations and control (non-fertilized). Our results showed that the application of organic fertilizers caused a significant increase in yield and essential oil content in oregano. On the other hand, integrated nutrition treatments had the most effect on increasing the traits in compared with the individual treatments. The highest essential oil yield was obtained from Nitroxin treatment (871.27 kg ha-1) in the second year. Whereas, the lowest value of essential oil yield was found in control (non-fertilized) (25.92 kg ha-1) in the first year. The present study clearly indicated that chemical fertilizers could be replaced by biofertilizers resulted in similar oil yield.

“…Plant growth, biomass and oil yield of mint could be affected by location, environmental conditions, fertilisation regime, weed competition and harvest stage . The main limiting factor in mint commercial cultivation is weed competition, since weeds can decrease both oil quality and biomass yield .…”

Weed interference with peppermint (Mentha x piperita L.) and spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) crops under different herbicide treatments: effects on biomass and essential oil yield

et al. 2017

BACKGROUND: 'Minor crops' such as spearmint and peppermint are high added value crops, despite the fact that their production area is comparably small worldwide. The main limiting factor in mint commercial cultivation is weed competition. Thus, field experiments were carried out to evaluate the effects of weed interference on growth, biomass and essential oil yield in peppermint and spearmint under different herbicide treatments.

“…Moreover, it could impair the ability of aquatic animals to survive, grow and reproduce [31]. Mineral fertilizers are commonly used to enhance the agricultural production, however, due to high cost and continuous degradation of soil productivity; organic fertilizers provided a safe channel to supplement the nutrients for soil health regeneration and enhanced crop productivity [32].…”

Aims: To evaluate the effect of compost application whether irradiated or not in addition to recommended mineral fertilization on growth and nutritional status of Valencia orange trees. Study Design: The design of the study is a randomized complete block design. The study was done on five-years-old Valencia orange grown in a loamy sand soil. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in El-Shrouk yard -Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road through five successive seasons 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. Compost irradiation was done at the National Centre for Radiation Research and Technology, Atomic Energy Authority. Methodology: In addition to mineral fertilization, four main treatments were applied to Valencia orange trees, T1 three years application of non-irradiated compost, T2 four years application of non- irradiated compost, T3 and T4 similar to T1 and T2 while irradiated compost was applied. Shoot length and thickness, leaf number and area were calculated. Leaf N, P and K% as well as Fe, Mn, Zn and total chlorophyll content were measured. Results: Data revealed that application of compost especially irradiated form in combination with chemical fertilizers has a positive effect on vegetative growth of Valencia orange trees in addition to leaf content of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, iron, manganese, zinc and total chlorophyll. Four years application of compost regardless irradiation was superior to three years application. Combination of irradiated compost and four years application gave the highest values for the previously mentioned parameters. Conclusion: Addition of compost to chemical fertilizers improved the vegetative growth and nutritional status of Valencia orange trees. Irradiation of compost increased its efficiency that might reduce the time of application. Also, using compost, particularly in the newly reclaimed soil, greatly increase water and mineral fertilizers use efficiency, which in turn lead to saving in irrigation water and fertilization nutrients.
