Abstract

In order to study the effects of organic and bio fertilizers application on elements concentration and seed yield of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), an experiment was conducted as randomized complete blocks design with twelve treatments and three replications in Tehran in 2019. The treatments were 1- vermicompost (10 t/ha), 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 plant height (75.3 cm) in integrated treatment of vermicompost and bio-superphosphate, the highest umbel no./plant (23.6) in treatment of chemical fertilizer, the highest N concentration in seed (2.92%) in integrated treatment of nitroxin and biosulfur and the highest P concentration in seed (0.83%) in treatment of bio-superphosphate were obtained. Also, the highest K concentration in seed (4.06%) and seed yield (1297.5 kg.ha-1) in integrated treatment of nitroxin and bio-superphosphate were obtained. It seems that bio and organic fertilizers can consider as a replacement for chemical fertilizers in sustainable cultivation of coriander.
