Two field experiments were carried out during 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 seasons at the Experimental Farm, Fac. Agric., Minia Univ. to investigate the effect of compost (0, 5, 7.5 and 10 ton/fed), mineral NPK, effective microorganisms (E.M.), vit. E, vit. B1, E.M. + vit. E. and E.M. + vit. B1 on the growth and productivity (fruits and essential oil) of coriander plants. The obtained data revealed that vegetative growth characters (plant height, stem diameter and herb dry weight/plant), yield components (number of umbels/plant, fruit yield/plant and /fed) and all studied oil production (oil %, oil yield/plant and /fed) were significantly increased due to the application of all levels of compost over those of control treatments. The maximum values were recorded at the high level of compost (10 ton/fed). Vegetative growth characters, fruit yield and essential oil productivity parameters were significantly augmented as a result of using the different six treatments. The most effective treatments in this concern were mineral NPK (full dose) followed by E.M. + vit. E without significant difference between such superior treatments. While, E.M. plus either vit. E or vit. B1 gave the highest essential oil %. Moreover, E.M. + vit. E followed by NPK (full dose) recorded the highest essential oil yield/plant and /fed. It could be recommended to supply Coriandrum sativum plants with compost at 10 ton/fed in combination with E.M. + vit. E. to alternative to compost (10 ton/fed) with mineral NPK (full dose) to ensure the safety, not only for human but also for the environment in which we live.

The effect of Bacillus subtilis andPseudomonas fluorescence as biocontrol agent against Rhizoctonia solani on Menthaviridis L. plants was evaluated. The pot experiment was conducted during two successive seasons (2012 and 2013) in the Experimental Farm of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Research Department in El Kanater El Khairia. Sex treatments were conducted , Control (without any treatments), R. solani (infested pathogenic fungi), R. solani + fungicide (Vitavax T. 0.15%), R. solani + Bacillus. subtilis (B.S), R. solani + Pseudomonas. fluorescence (Ps.f) and R. solani + B.s + Ps.f (combination of the two bioagents). The results showed that the highest decrease in percentage of infected plants, the increment of the survival plants percentage and the activity of dehydrogenase enzyme were recorded with the plants infested with B. subtilis,Ps. fluorescence individually and the combination treatment in comparison to the control and R. solani infested plants at both cuts in both seasons. Moreover, the highest values of growth parameters (plant height, number of branches, plant fresh and dry weight) as well as volatile oil percentage were recorded with the same treatments. The most effective treatment was the dual application treatment (B. s and Ps. f) which gave the highest volatile oil yield/plant in both cuts during the two seasons. While the volatile oil main component (Carvone) recorded maximum values 62.20 and 61.34% in case of R. solani + B. subtilis and the dual treatment.

A field experiment was carried out at the experimental farm of Fac. of Agric., Minia Univ. during two seasons (2012/2013 and 2013/2014) to study the effect of compost (0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 ton/fed) and eight bio-stimulant treatments (salicylic acid (Sal.) at 100 and 200 ppm, ascorbic acid (Asc.) at 100 and 200 ppm, active yeast at 5 and 10 g/l, vit. E at 50 and 100 ppm and control) on growth and fruit yield production of cumin plants. The data showed that using 7.5 ton/fed compost significantly increased vegetative growth parameters (plant height, stem diameter, number of branches/plant and herb dry weight/plant) and yield and yield components characters (number of umbels/plant, fruit yield/plant and / weight of 1000 fruits) comparing with other treatments. Treating plants with Sal., Asc., active yeast and vit. E, each at two concentrations significantly increased vegetative growth parameters and yield and yield component characters comparing with control treatment, except Asc. at 100 ppm for weight of 1000 fruits during the first season. The best treatments were Sal. followed by Asc., then active yeast and vit. E, each at high concentrations in this concern.

The data indicated that using compost at 7.5 ton/fed significantly increased essential oil production parameters, photosynthetic pigments contents and N, P and K % comparing with other treatments. Also, data showed that all eight used treatments of bio-stimulants significantly increased essential oil production (oil %, oil yield/plant and /fed) and chemical constituents (pigments and N, P and K %) as compared with control in both seasons, except, vit. E (50 ppm) in the second season for chlorophyll (a and b) and carotenoids, as well as, active yeast (5 g/l) for chlorophyll a in both season and phosphorus % in the first season. The best treatments were Sal. and Asc. at the rate of 200 ppm in most cases and vit. E (100 ppm) and active yeast (10 g/l) in some cases, especially chemical constituents.

A pot experiment was carried out during two successive seasons (2014 and 2015) at Salinity and Alkalinity Soil Research Laboratory in Alexandria. The goal of this work was to study the response of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) plants irrigated with saline water at 0, 2000 and 4000 ppm NaCl to the application of antistress agents (salicylic acid “SA” at 0 and 0.2 mM and diatomaceous earth “DDM” at 0 and 6 g/10 kg soil). The effect of these antistress agents on the vegetative growth, volatile oil percentage and its chemical composition were recorded. In general results indicated that irrigation with saline water and antistress agents ( DDM and SA each of them solely) had a significant effect on vegetative growth expressed as plant height, number of branches/plant, herb fresh and air dry weights and volatile oil percentage as compared to control in most treatments in both cuts of the two seasons. Moreover the plants receiveddiatomaceous earth (DDM) at 6 g/10 kg soil combined with irrigation with non saline water (tap water) recorded the highest values of vegetative growth and volatile oil percentage in both seasons at the two cuts. Also the highest camphor content was achieved with this treatment. Proline content was decreased with increasing the rate of diatomaceous earth followed by salicylic acid, this refers to the response of rosemary plants grown under salt stress to the application of antistress agents ( DDM and SA).
