Effects of different fertilizers on yield and quality of anise (Pimpinella anisum L.)

This study was carried out in 2022 at the research area of Eskişehir Osmangazi University, Agricultural Faculty. The study was carried out without the use of pesticides to examine the effects of different organic and inorganic fertilizers (compound fertilizer, vermicompost, bat guano, bacterial application, micro and forceful commercial organic liquid fertilizers) on the morphological and yield criteria of anise plant grown under dry conditions in Eskişehir ecological conditions and to observe the effects on the determined characters. In the study, no statistical difference was found in plant height, number of umbellet and essential oil content. Number of umbels, number of seeds per plant, seed yield per decare and 1000 thousand seed weights were found to be statistically significant at 5% level. The highest number of umbels (13.93), seed yield per plant (1.17 g/plant), seed yield per decare (46.8 kg/da) and 1000 thousand seed weights (3.43 g) were obtained from micro treatment. The lowest number of umbels (8.76) was obtained from the compound fertilizer treatment, the lowest seed yield per plant (0.47 g/plant) and the lowest seed yield per decare (19.07 kg/da) were obtained from the vermicompost treatment and 1000 thousand seed weights (2.77 g) was obtained from the control.
