Abstract :
Iran, with its historical background and potential geographical, climatic and plant species diversity, can respond to the needs of human society in the field of medicinal plants. The increasing importance, position and role of medicinal plants in sustainable management, especially in the macro dimensions of economic, environmental, health (pharmaceutical self-sufficiency), employment, food security and genetic reserves in the national and global arena, is such that it can be done today. He considered the deepening, revitalization and its role, especially in the supply of medicine, as one of the indicators of development in the country. One of the major problems of growing these plants is the lack of proper nutrition. Therefore, due to the poor condition of Iran's soil due to continuous cultivation, medicinal plants face disturbances during their growth and development. But the way out of this problem is knowing the complex condition of the soil and knowing the principles and methods of plant nutrition. Eliminating the use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture and reducing their environmental risks requires the use of other agricultural techniques. Among these techniques, which increased the quality and performance of producing healthy agricultural products, especially medicinal plants, the use of organic fertilizers, green manure, animal and plant residues, beneficial soil microorganisms under the title of biofertilizers (Bacillus licheniformis, Nitroxin, Azospirillum) Azotobacter and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi). Therefore, considering the importance of the topic, this research tries to have an overview of the nutritional principles of medicinal plants in Iran.
