Abstract

In order to study the effects of organic and bio fertilizers application on yield and essential oil composition of herb in sustainable cultivation of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), an experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with twelve treatments and three replications in Tehran of Iran in 2019. The treatments were 1- vermicompost (10 t ha-1), 2- nitroxin, 3- bio-superphosphate, 4- biosulfur, 5- vermicompost + nitroxin, 6- vermicompost + bio-superphosphate, 7- vermicompost + biosulfur, 8- nitroxin + bio-superphosphate, 9- nitroxin + biosulfur, 10- bio-superphosphate + biosulfur, 11- chemical fertilizer and 12- control (without fertilizer). The results showed that treatments had significant effects on studied traits, as the highest herb yield (3833.3 kg ha-1) in integrated treatment of 10 t ha-1 vermicompost and nitroxin and the highest essential oil content (0.254%) and essential oil yield (7.70 kg ha-1) in integrated treatment of nitroxin and bio-superphosphate were obtained. In investigation of essential oil components, the highest caryophyllene oxide content (40.13%) in control, the highest trimethyl-2-pentadecanone content (37.89%)) in combined treatment of vermicompost and bio-superphosphate, the highest n-decanal content (11.84%) and E-caryophyllene content (8.18%) in integrated treatment of nitroxin and bio-superphosphate, the highest hexadecanoic acid content (7.95%) in treatment of bio-superphosphate and the highest dodecanal content (11.27%) in treatment of chemical fertilizer were obtained.
