Effect of Mycorrhizal Fungi and Biophosphor Fertilizer on Growth Features, Yield and Yield Components, and Essntial Oil Constituents in Cuminum cyminum L.

Background: Achievement of optimal production of medicinal plants along with adherence to scientific principles of sustainable agriculture is of great importance. Objective: Evaluation of different mycorrhiza fungi and biophosphorus fertilizer on morphological, yield, yield components, and quality and quantity of essential oils in cumin. Methods: This study was carried out in a factorial experiment based on RCBD with three replications at Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands. Factors were considered as inoculation with mycorrhiza species (G. mosseae, G. interradices, G. hoi) and types of biophosphate application (seed inoculation, and seed inoculation + foliar application), and non inoculation with employed treatments considered as control. Results: Results showed statistically (P
