Abstract

This study was conducted during two seasons of 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 to study the effect of poultry manure at (5,10 or 20 m3/fad.), NPK at (100:100:50 and 200:200:100 kg/ fad.) and Bio-fertilizer (active dry yeast at 2 or 4 g/ L, vitamin B1 at 25 or 50ppm and  nitrobein as bio source of nitrogen at 500 or 1000 g/ fad. ) on growth, yield, oil production and chemical composition of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare, Mill.) plants. The results showed that poultry manure application at 10 or 20 m3/ fad significantly increased plant height, number of main branches, fresh and dry weights of leaves and stems, number of umbels/ plant, fruit yield, essential oil percentage and oil yield/ plant in the two seasons. The best results were obtained by these two doses (10 or 20 m3/ fad.). They increased total carbohydrates percentages in different plant organs and increased α pinene, β pinene, anise aldehyde, fenchone, anethole and decreased estragole (Methyl chavicol) percentages in the oil.
Chemical and bio-fertilizers had a significant effect on vegetative growth characteristics (plant height, number of branches/ plant, fresh and dry weights of leaves and stems) number of umbels/ plant, fruit yield, oil percentage and oil yield/ plant in both seasons. The most effective treatment was NPK at (200:200:100 kg/ fad.) followed by active dry yeast at 2 or 4 g/ L as compared with nitrobein at 500 or 1000 g/ fad. which gave the lowest values. This treatment resulted in high percentage of carbohydrates in leaves, stems and fruits in the two seasons.
Interaction between poultry manure, chemical and bio-fertilizers had a significant effect on both vegetative growths, fruit yield/ plant and oil production in both seasons. The interaction between these treatments increased anethol content in the oil and total carbohydrates percentages in different plant organs.
