To evaluate the effects of fertilizing and deficit irrigation regimes on some chemical properties of soil and plant, an experiment was conducted during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. Experimental design was a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with four replications. The treatments consisted of three deficit irrigation regimes (main plots) and six soil fertilizing systems (sub-plots). The irrigation treatments were included non-stressed, medium stress and severe stress. Fertilizing systems consisted of no fertilizing as control, phosphorous and nitrogen biofertilizers, 100% chemical fertilizer, vermicompost, 50% chemical fertilizer + 50% vermicompost, and 50% chemical fertilizer + biofertilizer as the sub plots. Integrated application of chemical and organic fertilizers increased soil P more than the other fertilizing systems. Integrated fertilizers increased plant N in compare with other fertilizing systems. Fertilizers containing vermicompost had more soil organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus or plant N and P under water stress rather than the others. Biofertilizer increased soil and plant P content under normal irrigation.

In order to compare planting season effect on agronomic of characters and yield of dill (Anethum graveolens L.) an experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was conducted in 2006-07 in Esfahan province and three planting seasons (spring, summer and autumn) were evaluated. Essential oil compositions were obtained by Clevenger and recognized by GC-Mass and GC. According to results, the majority of seedlings were injured in autumn planting date (November) and effect of planting seasons on fresh and dry biological yields and essential oil of foliage were significant. In spring (March) and summer (June), fresh and dry biological yields were 5.4, 1.1 kg/m2 and 3.7, 0.8 kg/m2, respectively. Essential oil quantity was also 10.2 and 5.3 cc/m2, respectively. The most important components in essence were carvon with 58.5 and 52.2% in spring and summer seasons, respectively. Thus, cultivation of dill in spring and summer seasons in order to produce seed, foliage and essential oil was successful.
