Abstract
Objective:medicinal plants, including agricultural products and natural resources, have been less prominent in the country's economic studies.
Research Method: The present study was conducted in a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in a research field located in Ahar County in two agricultural years, 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. The main factor in this study was seed priming with four levels: control (no priming), osmopriming, hardening, and hydropriming. The secondary factor included foliar application of micronutrient elements with seven levels (zinc, iron, and manganese in both conventional and nano forms, as well as control without foliar application).
Findings: The results indicated that the simultaneous application of osmopriming treatments and foliar application of nano zinc had the greatest significant effect on increasing most quantitative and qualitative growth components of summer savory plants. This treatment increased the number of flowering stems, dry weight of flowering stems, dry weight of aerial parts, and the yield of savory essence by approximately 38%, 25%, 44%, and 43%, respectively, in the first year of the study and approximately 38%, 24%, 44%, and 40%, respectively, in the second year of the study compared to the control treatment.
Conclusion: Overall, the results demonstrated that the simultaneous application of osmopriming of summer savory seeds along with foliar application of nano zinc is a promising method for increasing both the quantitative and qualitative yield of summer savory under similar climatic conditions.
