Abstract: |
| In order to investigate the antifungal effects of essential oils of some medicinal plants, including rosemary, which is often consumed as an edible vegetable, a comparative study of the fungicidal effects of rosemary essential oil under the influence of different fertilizers on Fusarium fungus was designed and implemented. In the first part, the experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with four treatments and three replications, in which the fertilizer treatments were control, nitrogen fertilizer from urea source, organic animal manure (cow), and vermicompost, after planting and passing the period. At the end of the operation, the plants were harvested and their essential oils were measured using conventional and recommended scientific methods. According to the results obtained, the most essential oil was from the use of chemical nitrogen fertilizer from urea fertilizer source, and the lowest amount of essential oil was from the control treatment (no fertilizer use). In the second stage, the experiment was conducted by planting spores of the Fusarium fungus in the designed culture medium, while confirming the antifungal effects of the essential oil of the medicinal plant rosemary. It led to the conclusion that the essential oils produced from the use of chemical fertilizers and vermicompost showed more and better inhibitory effects than other essential oils. |
