Comparative analysis of plant morphometric traits, essential oil yield, and quality of Origanum majorana L. cultivated under diverse sustainable organic nutrient management strategies.

ABSTRACT: Plant nutrition is one of the major factors affecting the production of medicinal plants. This study aimed to assess and compare plant morphometric characteristics, essential oil yield, and composition of Origanum majorana L. irrigated with water of different qualities at two cuts. The greenhouse experiment followed a randomized completely block design of three treatments (T1: water mixed with standard hydroponics solutions A and B, T2: Biofloc wastewater, and T3: aquaculture wastewater) with three replicates per treatment. The results of this study indicated that T1 significantly improved the plant morphometric characteristics, such as plant height, number of branches, fresh weight, and dry weight, compared to other treatments in cut 1 and cut 2. The results of the soil analysis showed th
