THE INFLUENCE OF FERTILIZATION ON YIELD OF CARAWAY, ANISE AND CORIANDER IN ORGANIC AGRICULTURE

Many plants of apiaceae family have long been well knownbecause of flavorful aromatic spice and, because of its healing properties, are oftenused in folk medicine and in cooking. in our study three plants of this family wereincluded: caraway (carum carvi l.), anise (pimpinella anisum l.) and coriander(coriandrum sativum l.). regarding good agro-ecological conditions for growingthese plants in serbia, and a new world trend of increasing organic agriculturalproduction, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of application ofvarious types of fertilizers on yield of studied plant species. the field experimentwas carried out during the years of 2011 and 2012, in three localities in vojvodinaprovince with the local ecotypes and six different treatments (control, ‘slavol’,‘bactofil b-10’, ‘royal ofert’, vermicompost and npk). the highest carawayyield was obtained by the application of biofertilizer ‘bactofil b-10’. as regardsanise and coriander the highest yield was achieved by the application of chemicalfertilizer. the most effective organic fertilizers were the following: vermicompostfor anise and specific poultry manure ‘royal ofert’ granules for coriander.
