A reduced application of chemical fertilizer plus Trichoderma, Azotobacter, Mycorrhiza, inoculant alone bio-fertilizers, combined with the bio-organic fertilizers, with using the 100% rate of the conventional chemical fertilizer and control. The results showed that the application with the inoculant alone or combined with the bio-organic fertilizers increased the herb yield and biological activities. The maximum content of methyl chavicol, geranial and citral was obtained fertilized with Bio1 + Bio2 + Bio3, 50% IO + Bio3, 50% IO + Bio2. Especially, application of Bio1 + Bio2 fertilizer has great potential for improving antioxidant activity, total phenolic and flavonoid contents. Thus, the results suggest that the application of bio-fertilizers could be employed in combination with the appropriate rates of chemical fertilizers to get maximum benefits regarding herb yield, biological activity and essential oil component.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessTrichodermaAzotobacterMycorrhizaMethyl ChavicolAntioxidant ActivityArticle10.1134/S10214437236026657112-s2.0-85192067293Q3WOS:001214237500007N/A
