Abstract

Garden thyme is an aromatic and perennial medicinal plant of the Lamiaceae family. In order to investigate the effect of foliar spraying of wood vinegar and mycorrhiza on some morphological-physiological characteristics of Thymus vulgaris L., a factorial experiment in the form of a basic design of randomized complete blocks with three replications, during the crop years 1400-1402 It was carried out in the research farm of Islamic Azad University of takestan
The experimental factors include the first factor in four levels of mycorrhizal fungi (control و seed and soil inoculation with Glomus mosseae, Glomus.etunicatum and Glomus. intraradices) and the second factor in four levels of wood vinegar (control, foliar spraying 5, 10 and 15 per thousand).
The highest amount of dry matter, chlorophyll a, b, total, nitrogen, and potassium of the root was obtained from 10% wood vinegar foliar spraying. the highest plant fresh weight and relative water content were obtained from the interaction effect of wood vinegar treatments (10 per thousand) and G. mosseae mycorrhizal inoculation. that inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi, especially G. mosseae, as well as 10% wood vinegar foliar spraying were the most effective on the investigated traits in this experiment
that the application of G. mosseae mycorrhiza compared to the non-inoculation treatment caused a 215 and 170 percent increase in root nitrogen and potassium, respectively, and the application of G. mosseae mycorrhiza with foliar spraying of wood vinegar (10 per thousand) caused an approximately 7fold increase in root phosphorus compared to the control treatment
