Abstract

This study had been conducted at the Experimental Research Station of the Faculty of
Agriculture, Shatby, Alexandria University, during the two successive seasons of 2016/17 &
2017/18. The mineral fertilizer (NPK) was used at the percentage of (20:5:5) at four levels which
were 0, 100, 200 and 300 Kg./fed./season, and the organic fertilizer was the cattle manure (CM)
which used at five rates which were 0, 20, 30, 40 and 50 m3/fed./season, as well as the interaction
between them. For the traditional cultivation system we recommend to fertilize rosemary plants
with 300 Kg. NPK/fed. with 50 m3 CM/fed. or 200 Kg. NPK/fed. with 50 m3 CM/fed. for the best
vegetative growth and oil yield and chemical composition.
