Abstract

Now a day, finding alternatives to chemical fertilizers without reduction of yield becomes urgent need for saving the environment. So,two field experiments were performed at Experimental Farm of Gemmiza, Agricultural Research Station, El- Ghrbiah Governorate, Egypt during the two growing seasons of 2016 and 2017 to investigate the influence of different fertilizers types, i.e., mineral fertilizers (100 % as a control), organic fertilizers (plant compost and farmyard manure), bio-fertilizer and different applications of some stimulants on improving the vegetative growth, fruit yield and essential oil constituents of Coriandrum sativum L plant.The findings showed that coriander plants treated with compost plant had the highest values of all studied parameters as compared to the plants treated with farmyard manure. Within the foliar non-mineral applications; the best values of all studied traits of coriander plants were obtained by using compost before planting and Humic acid plus seaweeds which improved plant growth, yield and essential oil yields. In addition, the highest values of the main component (linalool) were associated with the same previous treatment.
