Introduction: Water deficit or drought stress is one of the critical abiotic stresses and limiting factors in the productivity of plants, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. In these conditions, the nutrient use efficiency by plant decrease due to the lower mobility of these elements. The...

Peppermint is an important medicinal plant, particularly regarding its high essential oil (EO) content. The present study assesses the effects of two Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMFs) and three concentrations of Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO₂ NPs) (i.e., 100, 150, and 200 mg L^-1) on growth...

Introduction: Cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants has had long a special rank in the traditional agricultural systems of Iran and these systems have played an important role in creating diversity and sustainability. Management of soil nutrients using organic fertilizers is among major...

Nowadays, the application of sustainable and eco-friendly fertilizers plays an important role in improving the essential oil (EO) quantity and quality of medicinal and aromatic plants. Hence, the study aimed to investigate the effects of green manures, organic manures and biofertilizers on the...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of microbial inoculation on nutrient efficiency and quality of peppermint under drought stress in 2 crop years 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 in the Agricultural Research Center of Sarableh city located in Ilam province. This experiment was performed as...

Drought stress (DS) negatively affects plant growth, productivity, and quality in semi-arid and arid regions. Nowadays, application of biofertilizers and stress-modulating nanoparticles (NPs) improves plant performance under stressful conditions. The study evaluated the impacts of arbuscular ...

Symbiotic associations with endophytic fungi are ecologically important for medicinal and aromatic plants. Endophytic fungi highly affect the quantity and quality of herbal products. In this study, a pot experiment was carried out in the greenhouse to investigate the interactive effects of ...

In order to explore the effects of inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi on the colonization characteristics and physiological indexes of Menzha spicara and Dianthus plumarius under different salt stress levels, we used the method of pot experiment in this study to divide M. spicata and...

Peppermint (Mentha × piperita L.) is cultivated for its benefits in pharmaceutical, medicinal, and cosmetic industries. The well-known essential oil of Mentha × piperita L. is widely produced and used all over the world. The aim of present study was to evaluate the impacts of different...

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different nutrient sources on the growth of menthol mint plants. Results of this investigation revealed that treatment T₁₁ [recommended dosage of fertilizers: 150: 60: 60 NPK kg/ha + Arbuscular mychorrhiza fungus (25 kg/ha) + Azotobacter...
