Abstract
Sweet marjoram [(marjoram) Origanum majoranna ], Italian parsley [(parsley) Petroselinum crispum ], Summer savory [(savory) Satureja hortensis ], and thyme ( Thymus vulgaris ) were evaluated for their yield potential during Fall–Winter–Spring (Oct.–May) 1998–99. The herbs were grown in a light sandy soil with the full-bed polyethylene mulch-micro(trickle) irrigation system. Experimental design was a split-plot replicated three times. Main plots were two N–P–K treatments: 0 N–P–K or N and K from a liquid 4–0–3.32 (N–P–K) fertilizer injected at 0.77 N and 0.64 K kg·ha –1 ·day –1 . Sub-plots were four compost rates at 0x, 1x, 2x, and 4x (1x = 4.5 t·ha –1 ). Early and seasonal total yields of marjoram and savory were similar with injected N + K and 0x compost to yields with compost and with or without injected N + K fertilizer. Yields of parsley and thyme increased with increasing compost rates and were best with compost plus liquid N + K. Postharvest soil concentrations of NO 3 -N were lower in the parsley, than in the marjoram, savory and thyme plots. Residual concentrations of all other elements were similar with or without injected N + K or compost treatments.
