Effects of nitroxin and ammonium sulfate on some of the traits of Marrubium vulgare L.

In order to study the effect of nitroxin bio-fertilizers (0, 3 and 6 liters per hectare) and ammonium sulfate fertilizer (0, 75 and 150 kg.ha-1) on yield, phytochemical, phenotypic and trace elements of Marrubium vulgare L., a factorial experiment based on completely randomized block design with three replications was conducted at Zanjan University in 2017. Nitroxin bio-fertilizer and ammonium sulfate had a significant effect on yield and mineral yield index. The highest weight of air part organs (157 g), inflorescence (349), inflorescence flowers (11.53 cm), total chlorophyll (12 mg.g-1), Phenol (112 mg.g-1), antioxidant (99.26) and tannin (35.66 mg.g-1) in combined treatments of 3 liters per hectare of nitroxin with 150 kg/ha of ammonium sulfate and 6 liters of nitroxin treatment with 75 kg/ha of ammonium Sulfate and the highest amount of flavonoid (12.96 mg.g-1) with 6 liters per hectare of nitroxin, with 150 kg ha-1, ammonium sulfate and anthocyanin (11.12 mg.g-1), was obtained in 6 liters/ha nitroxin. In conclusion, the results showed that biofertilizer consumption of nitroxin and ammonium sulfate, as compared to control, could be effective in increasing economic performance and qualitative characteristics of plant growth.
