The bio-fertilizers (Nitroxen, Barvar2 & mixture of them) were compared with the control treatment. complex Variance analysis different traits showed, the effect of different treatments of fertilizers on Root length, plant height, number of branches, leaf dry weight per plant, shoot dry and wet weight ratio, shoot dry weight per plant, essential oil percent and biomass yield, essential oil yield, seed yield per hectare and leaf area index were significant at 1% level. The use of Barvar2, Nitroxen, and the mixture of them increased essential oil yield up to 26.1, 21.1 and (30.19g/m2) respectively compared to control (16.9 g/m2).
