Abstract

Dill (Anethum graveolens L.) commonly known as Shebet in Farsi is an annual, glabrous and aromatic herb belonging to the Apiaceae family.
Material and methods: Field experiment was conducted at Imam Khomeini International University, Qazvin, Iran. The experiment consisting of 8 treatments was conducted as factorial based on Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The treatments included: The treatments consisted of four growth-promoting bacterial strains (Azotobacter, Azospirillum, Pseudomonas stutzeri and Pseudomonas putida) that were combined in equal proportions and used as bio fertilizer. Bio-fertilizers prepared separately or in combination with different levels of urea (100, 50 and 25% recommended amount of urea for Dill).
Results and discussion: The results showed that biological fertilizers, individually or in combination with nitrogen fertilizer, increased growth, seed production, essential oil content, essential oil composition and leaf chlorophyll content; compared to control. Essential oil analysis of coriander seeds showed that the most important compounds are Carvone, limonene and Apiol that were significantly affected by biological and chemical fertilizers. Using 50% of the recommended amount of urea fertilizer with bio fertilizer, increased the quality and quantity of Dill yield. In fact, the use of combined fertilizers is suggested to reduce the using of chemical fertilizer.
