        In this paper a suitable method for safe, economical and environmentally compatible disposal of "old and waste of energetic materials" in valuable organic fertilizers is introduced. The basis of this method is hydrolysis of energetic materials in presence of Humic acid, under suitable alkaline conditions in which the bonds of energetic materials are disintegrated and its Nitrogen content is converted into  the forms of Nitrite, Nitrate Ions or Ammonia and are absorbed by Humic acid. The remained materials containing carbon of process are converted to inert materials and are trapped in Humic acid matrix. Following the process, the Product of hydrolysis reaction which is liquid fertilizer is neutralized with phosphoric acid to reach to the desired PH and additives such as micronutrients will be added to it if necessary. In this process, severe bio-environmental pollutions, resulting from application of old and routine methods for destruction and neutralizing of energetic materials, is prevented, and safety hazards for neutralizing or destruction of these materials is minimized. Generally, the Final products of this process are liquid organic/inorganic fertilizers with various formulations for the use in agronomy Manuscript profile

        To evaluate the effect of organic fertilizers and mycorrhizal symbiosis on yield components and percentage of essence of Mentha aquatica, a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with 8 treatments and 4 replications was conducted in Sari, in 2014. The experimental treatments were mycorrhizal fuangi (Glomus mosseae) with two levels (0 and 10% per pot), vermi-compost with two levels (0 and 10% per pot) and compost of tea with two levels (0 and 1.5 liter per pot). The results showed that use of organic fertilizer and mycorrhizal symbiosis significantly improved the quantity and quality characters Mentha aquatica. Use of organic and biological fertilizers had a significant effect on most of the measured traits and increased all of the traits as compared to those of control. Thus, highest plant height, leaf number, seed number per plant, plant dry weight, root length, root diameter, leaf area index, essence present and essence yield were obtained by using mycorrhizal symbiosis and compost tea, vermin-compost as compared to those of control treatment. Generally, the use of organic and biofertilizers, produced optimum quality and quantity of Mentha aquatica. In fact, increased performance of organic and biological fertilizers improved the activity of plant growth regulators and reduced elemental leaching and thus resulted in higher absorption of nutrients, increased plant growth, seed yield and essential oil content of Mentha aquatica.

        In order to investigate the combined effect of organic and chemical fertilizers on vegetative and yield characteristics of sweet pepper (Caspsicum annuum, Var: Traviata), an experiment was conducted on a randomized complete block design with three replications at Ferdowsi University Research Station Mashhad, in 2017. Treatments included control (without adding any fertilizer), NPK fertilizer, manure, vermicompost, vermicompost + chemical fertilizer, manure + chemical fertilizer, manure + vermicompost, and manure + vermicompost + chemical fertilizer. Results showed that the application of combined animal and chemical fertilizers significantly increased the morphological and yield components of the plant. The highest plant height, leaf number, leaf area, shoot dry weight, SPAD index, fruit length, number of fruits per plant, and fruit fresh weight per plant were obtained from combined treatment of manure and chemical fertilizers. Applying combined manure and chemical fertilizers increased the amount of stomata conductance about 45% in comparison with the control. The highest number of stomata in fruit was obtained from vermicompost treatment and the highest fruit diameter was recorded from combined vermicompost and chemical fertilizer. In general, the results showed that the combined application of manure and chemical fertilizer due to the effect of improving physical and chemical structure of soil, stimulation of some microorganisms, and availability of nutrients, led to increases in the morphological traits, yield components, and yield of sweet pepper.

        Mallow (Malva silvestris L.) is a valuable medicinal plant which its flower and leaf are mentioned in many pharmacopoeias as drugs with therapeutic properties. The study was conducted based on a completely randomized design with three replications to evaluate the effect vermicompost different rates on morphological characteristics and yield components of mallow in pot conditions in 2014. Treatments were five rates of vermicompost (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 g/kg). In most of traits such as crown diameter, petiole fresh and dry weight, the root spread width, leaf number, canopy diameter, petiole length, plant dry weight, root fresh and dry weight, leaf width and length vermicompost 15 g/kg showed the greatest increment. However, application of vermicompost in 20 g/kg had better effect on leaf fresh weight. In plant fresh weight, vermicompost 15 and 20 g/kg had better effect. Vermicompost positive effect might be due to the structural characteristics and the presence of nutrients which could improve soil physicochemical properties and a positive effect on mallow growth. Using of sole bio-fertilizers or in combination with chemical fertilizers could have positive effect in medicinal plants cultivation.  Manuscript profile
