“…The current finding proved that geranium plant growth, flowering attributes, ion percentage, and chlorophyll concentration significantly increased by application of either biofertilizer or chemical fertilizer with or without compost addition. These findings are in line with earlier studies that indicate the effects of the application of chemical fertilizer [28,29], compost [14,15,17], and biofertilizers [7,14].…”

“…Various agro-waste has long been deliberated as being of little value and is typically discarded. Research has shown, however, the practicability of utilizing this agro-waste, after composting, as a growing substrate for vegetables and ornamental plants for its nutrient-rich fertilization as a soil amendment [14,15,17]. The addition of compost to the soil has valuable impacts on plant establishment and productivity via increasing soil fertility and microbial activities [7,9].…”

“…Compost represents an important source of micro-and macro-nutrients [18,19] and maintains soil water-and nutrient-retention capacity [15]. Several kinds of research have shown that the usage of biofertilizers enhanced plant growth, flowering attributes, and productivity [14,15,17,19].…”

Sustainable agriculture aims to eliminate the excessive usage of chemical fertilizers and can be crucial for soil fertility. A factorial pot experiment in a randomized complete block design was carried out in King Khaled International Airport Nursery, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during 2019/2020, to evaluate the role of a biofertilizer (i.e., Bio-Fert, nitrogen-fixing microorganisms; Biot-Phos, phosphorus-released microorganism; and Bio-Potas, potassium-released microorganisms, either alone or in combinations) and slow-release compound chemical fertilizer (Osmocote), with or without compost, on Pelargonium peltatum plant growth, flowering, chlorophyll level, and ion percentage. Soil amendment with compost in general significantly increased plant growth and flowering attributes as well as chlorophyll level, nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K) percentage over garden soil (without compost). All growth and flowering traits as well as ion percentage and chlorophyll level were significantly increased by biofertilizer treatments either alone or in combinations. The supreme treatment was the triple interaction over single or double interactions or untreated plants. Osmocote application increases chlorophyll levels, ions, flowering, and vegetative growth relative to untreated plants. Additionally, the data also revealed that all interactions between either osmocote or biofertilizers with compost significantly increased all studied attributes over each treatment alone or untreated control plants. Accordingly, it is recommended to add compost to the soil along with a triple mixture of biofertilizers for obtaining high plant growth and flowering attributes along with soil fertility.

High nitrogen input is important to guarantee higher production and essential oil yield. Ecologically, it is necessary to determine whether reduced nitrogen levels have an impact on the medicinal herbs’ productions. In the recent research, the influences of reduced nitrogen supply on the agronomic traits and essential oil productivity of chamomile have been evaluated. The experiment pots were set, and five levels of nitrogen fertilizer Urea (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 kg N/ha) have been applied to the soil during the growing season. As a result, Chamomile growth, flower, essential oil content and yield were significantly increased when urea was applied as 75 kg N/ha. As a result, this research illustrates that reducing nitrogen supply might be a promising environmentally friendly way and an alternate strategy for improving the essential oil of chamomile and perhaps other medicinal plants, while also helping the environment.
