Abstract
Nowadays competition for the available water supply, for irrigation, is increasing. This study which carried out for two seasons aimed to investigate the effect of vestcutar-arbuscular mycorrhizae 0IAM) and Azotobacter inoculation on growth and essential oil production of the aromatic plant Achillea millefolium, which has different usage as a medicinal aromatic plant. Plants were trar.splanted in sandy soil, which maintained at 50, 75 or 100% of field capacity. In addition to the control treatment, plants were inoculated with A. cnrcococcum and/or VAM. Field capacity significantly affected plant growth measured parameters; plant height. herb fresh and dry weight, flower fresh and dry weight as well as volatile oil yield. Microbial inoculation, significantly improved plant growth as well as its volatile oil yield compared with the control plants. The highest essential oil yield of flower tops (0.165 ml/plant) has been estimated when soil inoculated with both of the microorganism and maintained in 50% FC. Azotobacter inoculation significantly increased N% but not po;. of yarrow herb however, VAM Significantly increased P% of the herb. Inoculation with both of microorganisms had a beneficial effect in plant growth especially under lower levels of FC. Moreover inoculation with both of microorganisms had more pronounced eHect than single inoculation.
