Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Anethum graveolens (Dill) is one of the most important pharmaceutical plants of Fam. Apiaceous on most addition, fertilization is one of the productivity of the given plant their fine, Two field experiments were conducted at the experimental farm of the Faculty of Agriculture (Saba-Basha), Alexandria University during both seasons, 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 to study the effect of vegetative growth, chemical composition of dill (A. graveolens). The applied experiment design was randomize complete blocks design with three replicates. The main results stated that (1) the fertilization treatments differently, affected the mean values of all studied characters, and differently affected the mean value of all studied characters.(2) the application of 5m3of organic manure + A-Mycorrhizal, significantly resulted in increased plant height, fresh and dry weight as well as chlorophyll a and b contents, chemical composition of (N,P and K%) and Vitamin C content, as well as essential oil percentage. The conclusion from the present investigation revealed that the application of 5m3 organic manure + bio- fertilization (Mycorrhizal) led to the highest growth characters and chemical composition of dill plants.
