Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluate production of two economically important medicinal and aromatic crops, caraway and coriander, in new reclaimed soil of two different locations, Sohag and Qena, using different fertilization regimes. Field experiments were conducted at Agriculture Experimental Farm of Sohag University and Agriculture Experimental Farm of South Valley University during two successive seasons of 2010/2011 and 2011/2012.
To achieve the study objectives, twelve treatments were studied on the two species under the conditions of two locations. The full, half or quarter recommended doses of chemical fertilizers were compared with standard organic, double organic and biological fertilizers added alone, with half or quarter recommended dose of chemical fertilizers. The chemical fertilization of 200 Kg fed-1 supper phosphate, 300 Kg fed -1 ammonium nitrate and 100 Kg fed-1 potassium sulphate was added two equal doses after 45 and 60 days from sowing. Organic fertilizer as Farm yard manure (FYM) was used at 20 m3 per feddan. The bio fertilizers containing Azospirrillum lipoferum (nitrogen fixing bacteria, N.F.B.) and Bacillus polymyxa (phosphate dissolving bacteria,P.D.B.) were used as inoculums of seeds. Treatments were arranged in RCBD design as simple experiment with four replicates.
At the end of experiment, several parameters were recorded on all treatments for both species under both locations. Parameters included the following:
a- Vegetative growth parameters as plant height (cm), root length(cm), stem diameter(cm), branches number per plant, fresh and dry weight of herb and root (gm).
b- Flowering and fruit production parameters as number of umbels and umbeluless per plant, seed yield per plant (gm), seed yield per feddan (kg) and weight of 100 seeds (gm).
c- Chemical components in seeds including macro elements (N, P, K and Ca), microelements (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu and Pb), nitrate and nitrite.
d- Volatile oil production as percentage in seeds and yield per feddan.
