Abstract

ABSTRACT Italian parsley, Petroselinum crispum, summer savory, Satureja hortensis, sweet marjoram, Origanum majorana, and French thyme, Thymus vulgaris, were evaluated for potential yield in a multiple harvest system during the fall-winter-spring (Nov.-June) 1995–1996 and (Dec.-June) 1996–1997. The herbs were grown with a full-bed polyethylene mulch-micro-(trickle)-irrigation system using two nitrogen and potassium rates (0.68 N & 0.74 Kkg·ha−1·day−1 and 1.8 N & 1.48 K kg·ha−1·day−1 in the 1995–1996 growing season and 1.1 N & 0.9 K kg·ha−1·day−1 and 2.2 N & 1.8 K kg·ha−1·day−1 in the 1996–1997 growing season) as fertilizer treatments. Phosphorus was applied pre-plant at 21.3 kg/ha with both nitrogen and potassium rates. Except for summer savory and Italian parsley, yields of the herbs at the two nitrogen and potassium rates were inconsistent in the two seasons. Early (1st harvest) yields of Italian parsley were similar at both fertilizer rates, although parsley yields were higher (P < 0.05) at the higher fertility rate. In the 1995–1996 season, early and total yields of sweet marjoram were higher at the higher fertilizer rate, but in the 1996–1997 season both early and total yields were similar at both of the tested nitrogen and potassium rates. Early yield of thyme in 1995–1996 was similar at both nitrogen and potassium rates, but in 1996–1997 was higher with the higher nitrogen and potassium treatment. Total yields of thyme in both growth seasons were best with the higher fertilizer treatment rate. Residual concentrations of macro- and microelements in the soil at the end of the harvest seasons were similar for both tested nitrogen and potassium rates. Concentrations of macro- and microelemental within each herb were similar with the two fertility rates, although summer savory had relatively high concentrations of Fe, Mn and Zn and Italian parsley had a relatively high concentration of Zn in the shoots.
