| Abstract | ||
| In order to study the response of rosemary plants grown in sandy calcareous soil to soil application of three organic manures tea namely, tea compost, pigeon manure tea and chicken manure tea and spraying with salicylic acid (SA) at 100, 200, 300 and 400 ppm, as well as their interactions. A field experiment was achieved in new reclamation sandy soil located at El-Shiak Fadl Village Beni-Mazar District, Minia Governorate, Egypt, during 2021 and 2022 seasons. The obtained results show that, vegetative growth, nutritional status, essential oil content, essential oil yield/plant and oil main components were significantly improved because of treated the plants with the three organic manures tea and SA treatments. In this concern the companied application of manures tea and SA were more effective than using each compound alone. The plants received pigeon manure tea combined with spraying SA at 400 ppm present the brightest results, while non-significant differences were observed between the two higher concentrations of SA (300 ppm and 400 ppm). Then, accordingly the obtained results we can recommend treating the rosemary plants grown under sandy calcareous soil with organic manure tea and spraying SA at 300 ppm three times yearly. | ||
